Grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paintings

george h. sullivan

eorge D. Horst was my grandfather. He was born long long ago, during the height of the Civil War, and he was a founding partner in the hosiery firm of Nolde & Horst, established in 1890 in Reading, PA. In those days Reading was a major hosiery manufacturing center, and Jacob Nolde and George Horst constructed the city’s first large-scale manufacturing facility, which ultimately occupied a full city block and employed some 500 workers. In the early 1900s, both men built country homes on large adjacent parcels of land in Cumru Township, several miles south of the city. They named their enclave “Sheerlund” after a tiny village in their native Germany, and both men planted forests on the farmland around their homes (the Nolde parcel — more than 600 acres — is now the Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center, owned and run by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania).

Grandfather Horst began collecting paintings in 1911, but the private free-standing art gallery he built next to his country home was not constructed until 1926. The story of its genesis goes all the way back to 1904 and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition — the “Meet Me in St. Louis” World’s Fair of movie fame. It was there that Dr. Levi Mengel, first director of the newly-founded Reading Public Museum, purchased some 2,000 cultural and anthropological artifacts for museum display — a display that he set up in temporary quarters on the third floor of the Reading School District administration building in downtown Reading. Those temporary quarters lasted for twenty years. During that period the museum collection grew through both purchase and gift, and ultimately it took over the entire building. The collection was expanded to include paintings in 1913, when the

museum was first opened to the public, and George Horst became its principal art donor. Between 1913 and 1924 he gave or loaned many paintings to the fledgling museum; like the rest of the museum’s artifacts, the paintings were meant to serve as teaching tools, and they rotated around the Reading school system when they were not on display in the administration building. Then, in 1924, it came time to build a proper museum building. There was considerable controversy about where to place the structure, and Grandfather, as a major donor, made his opinion known. Reasonably enough, he thought the structure should be built in City Park, at the base of Mount Penn and close to the city’s center, where everyone who lived within the city limits would have easy access. By that time he had retired from the hosiery business, and early in the year he left with his

wife and daughter (his only child) for an extended vacation in Europe. When he returned home, he found that — unbeknownst to him — ground had been broken for the new museum building across the Schuylkill River from downtown, in a remote and swampy location that was barely within the city limits. To add insult to injury, the land on which the new building was to stand had been donated by his principal business competitor, who was just beginning to develop hundreds of acres adjacent to the site into what is now Reading’s principal suburb, Wyomissing. Grandfather was furious. So he demanded that all the paintings he had loaned to the museum be returned to him at once. The demand produced banner headlines in the local

interior of mr. horst’s private art gallery by reading architects richter & eiler

paper, but construction of the new museum continued. In due course the paintings were returned, and two years later he built his own gallery to house them. He continued to purchase paintings until 1929, when the Depression put an end to his collecting. Today, all four of George Horst’s grandchildren are still alive, but George Horst died in 1934, before any of us were born, so we never knew him. Except for the receipts and catalogues which he stored upstairs in the art gallery, we don’t know much about his art-collecting methods, either. And when we were young, our exposure to his art collection was quite limited. We grew up in a separate house built by our parents in 1939, at the other end of Sheerlund; the house was designed by Edward Durell Stone in the modern Art Deco style, and it contained not a single one of Grandfather’s paintings. In fact,

our parents (who hated the Victorian clutter they grew up with) were frankly proud of the fact that the clean lines and mirrored walls of their home afforded only two places for the display of art, one in the living room and one in the library. So we never paid much attention to the paintings in the art gallery, which was used only for occasional parties. My own interest in the collection was minimal until the 1980s. Sometime during that decade (if I remember correctly), the late lamented IBM Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City mounted a show devoted to the French Barbizon painter Charles Daubigny. That show was full of beautiful paintings, and it sent me back to take a closer look at Grandfather’s Daubigny — a pink-tinged sunset landscape entitled “Bord De L'Oise, Le Soir” — and then to take a closer look at the rest of the collection. By that time, the American Impressionists

that Grandfather collected had begun to attract positive critical attention, as a new generation of art historians looked at them with fresh eyes. Childe Hassam, Frank Weston Benson, Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, even Emil Carlsen (who is not strictly speaking an Impressionist like the others) — these were all painters with their own individuals styles, and as I explored their careers I came to believe that Grandfather’s collection contained first-rate examples of their work. But as I gradually got to know the complete collection, it was the lesser-known painters whom I grew to appreciate the most. Fred Wagner, Howard Butler, Aldro Hibbard, John Carlson, William Lathrop, Edward Moran, George Noyes, William Trost Richards — these are not widely-known American artists, but they were all fine painters.

Today the Reading Public Museum and Art Gallery is widely recognized as one of the finest small regional museums in the country, and its location does not seem remote at all. Grandfather’s “swamp” is drained and splendidly landscaped, and about a decade ago the original museum building was elegantly expanded by Der Scutt, the designer of New York’s Trump Tower (and a local boy who grew up about a mile from Sheerlund). If Grandfather were alive today, I like to think he would be tremendously pleased with the way the museum ultimately turned out. George H. Sullivan is the author of Not Built in a Day: Exploring the Architecture of Rome (Carroll & Graf, 2006), a walking-tour guide to the city of Rome that covers some 200 separate architectural sites; he lectures regularly on Roman architecture at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Acquired from the above auction. The George D. Horst Collection of Fine Art.

note: By the mid-19th century Corot firmly established himself as the leading figure of the Barbizon school of painting. Along with fellow artists Charles-Francois Daubigny, Narcisse Diaz de la Pena, Jules Dupre and Henri Joseph Harpignies, each represented in the Horst Collection, members of this group concentrated their efforts on painting the rich, wooded landscapes and forests of Fontainebleau and the surrounding regions of Bas-Breau, Ville-d’Avray

and Jean-de-Paris - paysages often sparsely populated by a lone figure or peasants undertaking their daily tasks. Corot’s intimate landscapes have been characterized as idyllic, even dreamlike, while still maintaining an adherence to a nearly monochromatic colour palette and a quiet restraint.

(30.5 x 26cm) provenance: ‘The Public Sale of the Crocker, Newcomb, Moir and Bonner Collections.’ American Art Association, New York, New York, January 24, 1912, lot 27. Acquired from the above auction. The George D. Horst Collection of Fine Art. note: Primarily a marine painter but also an accomplished landscapist as well, Boudin’s penchant for brightly hued, sun dappled seas, ports and beaches typically paired with dynamic cloud filled blue skies made him one of the leading painters in 19th century France. Boudin formally began painting at age 22, debuting at the Paris Salon in 1859 - his first of many such exhibitions - eventually earning the distinction of knight of the Legion d’honneur. He was referred to as “king of the skies” by none other than his teacher and the father of Barbizon painting, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and he is said to have advised a then teenage Claude Monet, “I want to show you Honfleur; I want you to see the light.” Painting not only in Honfleur, but also his native Deauville, Granville, Bretagne, Touques, and as in the present work, Trouville, Boudin’s never wavered from his plein-air approach as a landscapist, his evocative style presaging French Impressionism. $40,000-60,000

Henkels auction, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sale of December 11, 1917, lot 15. Acquired from the above auction. The George D. Horst Collection of Fine Art. note: Rico y Ortega’s career first began in Paris and was then firmly established in Venice, which he first visited in 1872, summered annually thereafter and ultimately settled, establishing a residence in the Dorsoduro neighborhood. He studied with Federico de Madrazo and Juan Antonio de Ribera, first exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1864 - where his work was regularly shown and the Salon des Artistes Francais. Working in the traditional en plein air manner, sometimes from a moored gondola, Rico’s paintings feature panoramic vistas which often employ the use of single vanishing point perspective in a vertical composition (as in the present painting), almost beckoning the viewer to enter the picture. While artists from the Baroque period onwards through the 19th and 20th centuries were drawn to the picturesque vistas of the Italian ‘city on the water,’ few painters active in the late 1800s so convincingly captured its light, churches, bridges and shimmering reflections of its lagoon and canals with as much skill and optical clarity as Rico. $12,000-18,000

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 The Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 was a world’s fair held in San Francisco California commemorating the opening of the Panama Canal. Though held during World War I, the exposition was a success, with twenty-two countries erecting their own exhibition buildings and every country in the world represented. Artists turned out in droves to exhibit their work, with over 800 American artists exhibiting at the exposition, many of whom were collected by George D. Horst. Additionally, the Scandinavian countries were well represented, and well received, as both Fjaestad’s “Pool In Winter” and Anna Wrangel’s “Old Man” were exhibited, with the latter receiving a silver medal for her effort. 26 132243/75 ANNA VON WRANGEL (swedish 19th/20th century) “OLD MAN” Signed with initials and dated ‘1912’ bottom left; with ‘Swedish Exhibition 1916’ label verso; also with name plate recto: ‘Panama Pacific International Exposition 1915 Department of Fine Arts Awarded a Silver Medal,’ oil on canvas 47 x 41 in.

(120.3 x 145.7cm) provenance: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Acquired from the above February 27, 1917. The George D. Horst Collection of Fine Art. exhibited: “Pan Pacific International Exposition.” San Francisco, California, 1915. “The Swedish Exhibition.” Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1916, no. 85. note: Gustaf Fjaestad was one of the leading members of the Rackstad colony of artists based in Varmland, Sweden. Led by the sculptor Christian Eriksson, Fjaestad and fellow Swedes, including Bjorn

Ahlgrensson and Fritz Lindstrom, the Rackstad artists worked primarily in the first part of the 20th century and focused their efforts on depicting the local landscapes. They drew their inspiration from picturesque surroundings of Lake Racken, just north of the small town of Arvika, where Fjaestad and the other group members settled. Fjaestad was not only a highly accomplished and prolific painter, he also designed rugs and tapestries and was a furniture craftsman. The present work falls neatly within the artist’s oeuvre: a realistically rendered undisturbed snow covered landscape with a partially frozen lake bank in the foreground shimmering with reflections. Typically devoid of figures, Fjaestad’s painterly canvases have an almost pointillist quality and capture the pristine solitude of the Swedish countryside. $20,000-30,000

Vance Jordan, New York, 1999. pg. 44, fig. 42 (illustrated as Still Life, 1928, location unknown”). $100,000-150,000

Having committed much of his artistic career to painting fish, game, floral arrangements, and crockery, Soren Emil Carlsen earned the right to be considered the greatest American still-life painter. Born in Denmark, Carlsen moved to the United States when he was 19, settling in Chicago. While he took a teaching position at the Chicago Academy of Design, he was not satisfied with his training, and like many of his fellow American artists, left the States for Paris, where he would discover the work of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. Though he delved into painting landscapes and marine subjects later in life, Carlsen’s still-lifes, particularly those featuring brass and copper kitchen vessels were his most celebrated.

Copper and Porcelain is one of the largest canvases by Carlsen to ever come to market, boasting an inordinately rare size for its subject. The painting is rife with varying textures, from the soft, tactile tapestry acting as a backdrop to the hard, reflective surface of the copper urn. Copper and Porcelain is a summation of Carlsen’s virtuoso draughtsmanship and rendering of atmospheric light on a grand scale.

Trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Académie Julian in Paris, Benson was a highly celebrated American Impressionist during his lifetime. In 1914 the Boston Transcript named him “America’s Most Medalled Painter” due to the numerous prizes he received at academic venues. His interest in progressive aesthetics and exhibition practices led him to become a member of “The Ten”, a group comprised of such painters as Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, and Julian Alden Weir, who withdrew from the Society of American Artists. Currently, his paintings and engravings hang in major museums throughout the United States, including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In this landscape painting Benson has captured the atmospheric effects particular to Long Point, the peninsula found jutting into Lake Erie. Benson was an avid sportsman and in fact wanted to be an ornithological illustrator at a young age. A paean to the sport he dedicated much of his life to, Marshes of Long Point features loose brushstrokes, reminiscent of John Singer Sargent to depict the bristling reeds of the marshland. He repeats the rapid movements of his brush in the cloud formations and flock of waterfowl overhead.

Considered the founder of “The Ten” Frederick Childe Hassam is rightly celebrated for exposing museums, collectors and the public to the American form of Impressionism. Born near Boston, Hassam primarily worked throughout the Northeast in such areas as Boston, New York City and the Isle of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire, where he summered. Like most artists, Hassam traveled to Europe to study the masters and entered the Académie Julian in 1886. Back in the United States, Hassam, along with Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman and J. Alden Weir made up the core of the American Impressionists, rendering their observations with immediacy, capturing the effects of light on landscapes as well as the New York cityscape for Hassam. In late 1897, along with his friends Weir and Twachtman, Hassam withdrew from the Society of American Artists, forming their own group, “The Ten American

Painters” which included Frank Weston Benson, and eventually, William Merritt Chase. The Isle of Shoals was a location that allowed Hassam to paint in a more traditionally Impressionist style. His paintings were exhibited at the salons of writer Celia Thaxter, where she also hosted wealthy residents of the islands. The Norwegian Cottage is representative of Hassam at midcareer. His advanced style of the late 19th century reaped dividends as Impressionism became the mainstream and desired style. 1909 was a year of success for Hassam, his paintings sold quickly and the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired their first painting by him – also a scene from the Isle of Shoals. Hassam’s canvas captures a bright summer day on the island as part of his continuing exploration of the locale, illustrating the varying atmospheric elements of the rocky coast with rapid, staccato brushstrokes.

Catalogue Raisonné. Hollis Taggart Galleries, New York, 2006. vol II. pg. 190, no. 517 (illustrated). note: An exhibition catalogue from the “One Hundred and Twenty First Annual Exhibition” at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts will accompany this lot. $200,000-300,000 Pennsylvania Impressionist Daniel Garber settled in the New Hope, Pennsylvania area in 1907 at the suggestion of fellow artist William Langson Lathrop. He named his property “Cuttalossa” after the nearby

creek. Along with Edward Willis Redfield, Garber is the most celebrated of the American Impressionists who made New Hope their home. Perhaps more than any other Pennsylvania Impressionist, Garber branched out from plein air landscapes by also painting celebrated interiors and portraits. It was however, his landscapes - his renderings of the quarries at Byram, the Delaware River, and the woods around his Cuttalossa property that were lauded at the time, and continue to be to this day. Garber's talents did not go unnoticed. He won numerous awards, many from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he also taught for over 40 years, in addition to winning a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. Glen Cuttalossa is typical of Garber's oeuvre. A large oil on canvas, Garber's singular trees occupy a distinct foreground, rendered in great detail before receding into a thicket, stitched together by precise brushstrokes using a muted palette of reds and browns. The interplay between the foregrounded trees and the old ruined mill in the background lend a complexity to the canvas not readily apparent upon first view.

(97.2 x 127cm) provenance: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Acquired from the above, March 8, 1929. The George D.

Considered, along with William Langson Lathrop, as the founder of the New Hope art colony and the Pennsylvania Impressionists, Redfield’s heralded career made him one of the most highly decorated artists of his time. Like other American Impressionists, Redfield traveled throughout Europe before settling in the New Hope area around the turn of the century and it was his travels in Europe that led him to familiarize himself with the work of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and the Norweigian artist, Frits Thaulow, who would be of particular influence on Redfield. Always working with rapidity and force, Redfield typically made neither preliminary studies nor drawings and in fact gained a reputation for trudging into the snow, large canvas in hand to paint en plein air and finish in one go. The end result of all this can be seen in “Winter Sunlight.” The heavy, deep snow fittingly illustrated with thick impasto, coupled with the sleigh, leads the viewer directly into the composition and the frigid clear day. A December scene in Buck’s County, Redfield’s painting went on display at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts just two months after it was painted and subsequently could not escape the eye of noted collector George D. Horst. Winter Sunlight would turn out to be one of Horst’s last art purchases.
