<B>ARTHUR PARTON</B></I> (American 1842-1914)<BR><I>Pumpkins in a Field,</B></I> circa 1880s<BR>Oil on canvas<BR>13 x 20-1/2 inches (33 x 52.1 cm)<BR>Signed at lower right: <I>Arthur Parton NA</B></I><BR><BR>Born in Hudson, New York, Arthur Parton became a successful nineteenth-century landscape painter-first in the meticulous tradition of William Trost Richards with whom he trained in Philadelphia, and later in a freer <I>plein-air</B></I> manner inspired by exposure to the work of the Barbizon painters during an 1869 trip to Europe. In 1872, Parton's view of the Shenandoah River (Virginia) was published in Bryant's <I>Picturesque America</B></I> and catapulted him to national recognition. The artist became an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1871, and a full National Academician in 1884. He was a leading member of both the American Water Color Society and the Artist's Fund Society, and exhibited widely. His work was shown at the annual National Academy exhibitions from 1862 to 1914; the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, DC (1907, 1908, 1910); Brooklyn Art Association (1866-1885); Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, 1876; and the Boston Art Club (1882-1909). His work is represented in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.<BR><BR>Parton painted throughout his home state, recording scenes in the Catskill and Adirondack mountains upon which he built his artistic reputation. From 1874 to 1893, the artist maintained an atelier in the Tenth Street Studio at 51 West 10th Street in New York, alongside William Merritt Chase whose impressionistic views of Shinnecock doubtless influenced Parton's work from the same period. The present scene of pumpkins dotting a rural field combines Parton's awareness of Barbizon painting in the silvery, cloud tousled sky with Chase's brushy manner. The painting has the freshness of an oil sketch made on-the-spot outdoors.<BR><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
