Jan Matulka
New England Landscape

1925

About the Item

New England Landscape, 1925, by Jan Matulka (1890-1972) Oil on canvas, mounted to masonite 29 ¼ x 21 ¾ inches unframed (74.295 x 55.245 cm) 30 x 35 inches framed (76.2 x 88.9 cm) Estate stamped on reverse Description: Matulka studied at the National Academy of Design before traveling to the American Southwest, where he became inspired by Native-American and Hispanic cultures. Matulka used this inspiration upon returning home to create representational yet distorted artworks. He has had many solo exhibitions across NYC and has had his work displayed in notable locations such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In this oil painting study of a landscape, Jan Matulka uses strong, bold, fauvist colors to render a typical New English countryside. The homes, trees, and boulders are added to the composition to create a holistic and romantic view of New England. The viewer is not asked to be concerned with the natural world or the architecture present in the painting as much as the feeling the colors and composition evoke. This feeling is one of peace, domesticity, and pastoralism.

Winter Scene

Located in New York, NY
In this prototypical oil painting, Walter Launt Palmer's title as "the painter of the American winter" can be vividly and brilliantly seen. As an impressionist painter that emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Palmer took great interest in the picturesque American landscape, though he particularly focused on the rendering of this landscape glistening with snow. His pictures evoke an unreplicable natural serenity, and in this oil painting "The Winter Scene...
