  • Ada A. Wolfe, American Landscape Painting
    Nov. 11, 2017

    Ada A. Wolfe, American Landscape Painting

    Est: $800 - $1,200

    Wolfe was formally trained in art at the Minneapolis School of Art and the Art Students League in New York. Prior to 1916 she studied with William Merritt Chase. Wolfe utilized short brushstrokes to create landscape paintings. Her paintings, such as "Spring" are defined by bold lines that appear spontaneous, and by dark tones. The painting retains WolfeÕs characteristic staccato, fluid lines. This holds especially true, for example, in the trees which are stacked upwards in form by curvilinear bands of colors. The grasses are nourished and quickly turning to vivid colors, and the trees are just budding with the promise of ushering in the spring season. "Spring" is signed lower left, and titled and dated (May 1941) on verso of canvas. The artist's residential address is inscribed on the back of the canvas.
