Provenance:
Christie’s London, 4 July 1988.
Paul Maitland was born in London, the youngest son of a merchant. He studied at the National Art Training School, South Kensington (which became the Royal College of Art) and later with Theodore Roussel, who taught him as a personal pupil. Through Roussel he met Whistler and his circle. He was deeply influenced by the modernism and impressionism of Whistler and when Whistler resigned from the Society of British Artists in June 1886, Maitland and Roussel also resigned. He then joined the new English Art Club, in turn joining the breakaway group known as the London Impressionists which was largely led by Sickert and Steer.
Maitland was born with scoliosis which caused a curvature of the spine, making it difficult for him to travel and carry large canvases and panels. He therefore largely restricted himself to London and usually painted in a small, intimate paintings, his subjects being mainly landscapes. He painted out of doors, in all weathers and was a familiar figure around the streets of Chelsea. His small atmospheric urban landscapes, often of Kensington Gardens, the factories along the Thames and views of around Chelsea Embankment, clearly show the influence of Roussel and Whistler.
His obituary in The Times reads: “the death of Paul Maitland removes one of the most poetical and sympathetic painters of London scenery, particularly of Kensington Gardens the Chelsea and Battersea reaches, and the of the old redbrick houses which still remain in the region of Cheyne Walk. In private life, Mr Maitland was a brilliant and scholarly talker on art and letters.”
He exhibited in London at the Baillie, Paterson, Goupil and Grafton Galleries and with the Royal Society of British Artists. He also showed in Glasgow, Paris, Munich and Dresden. Subsequent exhibitions of his work were held at the Leicester Galleries in 1928, 1948 and 1962. Works by him are in the collection of the Tate Gallery and elsewhere.

#5715 Overgrown Barn, 2019 by Harry Orlyk
(Impressionistic, en plein air autumn landscape of a sunlit barn in a field)
oil on linen mounted on homasote board, ready to hang as is
14.5 x 14.5 inches unframed
Signed lower right corner
Harry Orlyk is celebrated for his ability to capture rural country landscapes with impressionistic brushstrokes and bright color palettes. Painting daily, the artist drives throughout the upstate New York, stopping to observe and paint 'en plain air' whenever and wherever a landscape strikes him. Orlyk prefers to leave his canvases unframed to reveal the exposed linen which are nailed to sturdy homasote boards for easy installation. This painting is a perfect example of Orlyk's impressionistic aesthetic. Here, the artist captures a quaint country landscape in a range of warm, golden tones. Orlyk's signature use of soft yellows creates a gently luminous atmosphere. The scene is made with gestural strokes of paint that culminate onto a textured, impasto surface. The artist's signature is located in the lower right corner.
The artist prefers to leave his paintings unframed. The painting can be installed with one nail, hammered behind the linen and through the homasote board.
About the artist:
Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947. In 1971 after graduating college, he went on to graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln . Over the next nine years, he was influenced by several Nebraskan artists. "Still-life painter Robin Smith taught me how to use paint without turpentine - to paint from the tube." He also admits the influence of photographer Lawrence McFarland who taught him what spiritual space was, and how to emphasize it. Lastly he credits well-known Lincoln painter Keith Jacobshagen...
