Famous American female artist - much history and information available on the internet. This painting was previously owned by an elderly friend of the artist and is accompanied by an exhibition brochure at the Hyde Collection in Glen Falls NY. I believe this was painting number 13 in the catalog but am not positive. There is no readily visible signature on the canvas however this is consistent with her latter works as she was legally blind - and still painting! This painting is absolutely correct, untouched and by her hand. Photographed and sold exactly as found - it has not been cleaned nor removed from its original frame. A good cleaning and will be grand! Some scuffs, scratches, negligible flaking here and there. Pickup in Fairfield County CT or can be shipped through Chairish. Questions? 203 357 0026 Thank you.
"Wilhelmina Weber Furlong (1878–1962) was a German American artist and teacher. Among America's earliest avant-garde elite modernist painters, Weber Furlong was a major American artist who pioneered modern impressionistic and modern expressionistic still life painting at the turn of the twentieth century's American modernist movement. She has been called the first female modernist painter in American Modernism. Furlong's path reflects similar struggles of women artists during the late 1800s and early 1900s who found themselves subjugated to the tastes of realist instructors who opposed both modernism in art and women artists.
Biography
Weber Furlong's long and active artistic career spanned 1892 to 1962, during which time she thrived as a modernist artist working in St. Louis, Mexico City, New York City, and Paris. Beginning in 1892, Weber Furlong was instructed by artists including Emil Carlsen, William Merritt Chase, and Edmund H. Wuerpel. She was in Paris from 1897 to 1906, where she attended the Salon d'Automne for three years and became acquainted with Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, and others who exhibited at the Paris Salon. From 1906 to 1913, Weber Furlong painted in Mexico City before moving to New York City where she lived and worked until 1947. While residing in New York, Weber Furlong worked in the rural retreats of Glens Falls, New York[6] and New Bolton Landing, New York where she hosted fellow artists at her Golden Heart Farm from 1952 to 1962.
In America, Weber Furlong's significant circle of friends and acquaintances includes John Graham, Willem de Kooning, David Smith, Dorothy Dehner, Jean Charlot, Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder, Rockwell and Sally Kent, Thomas Hart Benton, Allen Tucker, Max Weber, Kimon Nicolaidies, and many others. As a student, she was associated with the Art Students League as a young woman prior to 1900 and in 1913 began a serious role in the New York art scene at the Art Students League as a Secretary Treasurer and member of the Board of Control along with her husband, the artist Thomas Furlong. She taught art for over 56 years in New York and she was active with the Whitney Studio Club during the formative years of the organization in New York City a fact revealed in the Studio Club archives. In 1923 Weber Furlong was exhibiting at the architectural league of New York.
