About the Item

James Goodwin McManus High Noon, circa 1935 Signed lower right Oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches Provenance Private Collection Ric Serrenho, North Granby, Connecticut (acquired from the above in 2004) James McManus was born in Hartford, Connecticut on February 5, 1882. His art career began in 1893 when, at the age of 11, he enrolled for evening classes taught by Charles Noel Flagg. These classes later became the Connecticut League of Art School and provided free instruction to promising students. McManus succeeded Mr. Flagg as the instructor in 1916. In 1910, McManus and others founded the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts. He was president from 1935 to 1948. McManus was also a member of the Hartford Salmagundians, the Salmagundi Club, the Lyme Art Association, and the New haven Paint and Clay Club. In 1954, the Wadsworth Atheneum held a one-man show of his paintings. through noted for his landscapes, McManus also gained recognition for portraiture. Among the best known are those of former Governor Robert H. Hurley, and the Reverend John H. McCook of Trinity College. For 40 years McManus devoted his evening to teaching art to students at the Hartford Public High School adult education classes. Since 1922, McManus spent his summers at Old Lyme where he occupied one of Guy Wiggins’ studios. The lure of Lyme, especially Hamburg Cove, was strong and in 1937 he and his sister purchased a small house on Joshuatown Road. His work is held in the permanent collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut and the Florence Griswold Museum, Old Lyme, Connecticut.
