About the Item

A long and quiet night in the hotel lobby is depicted by Clyde Singer in this moody and still painting. Entitled Hotel Night Lobby (1947), Singer paints a moment of solitude during the lobby attendant's evening routine. An accomplished American Scene painter, Singer successfully captured everyday life during his long career. This painting was included in Clyde Singer's America exhibition and accompanying book. It is signed by the artist in the lower right. It is also signed en verso with multiple years between 1947 and 1960, indicating that he set the painting aside and reworked it later. It is executed in oil paint on canvas and presented in a gilt frame. Framed Dimensions: 45 H x 54 W Inches Image Dimensions: 37.5 H x 45.5 W Inches Born in Malvern, Ohio, forty miles south of Akron, Clyde Singer became known for his regionalist paintings in oil and watercolor of everyday landscapes and people. In 1933, he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. It was during the Depression, and he lived a Spartan existence. His teachers included John Steuert Curry, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Ivan Olinsky. Adopting the Social Realist style, he tried to paint in the same locations as George Bellows and John Sloan, and he painted many scenes of the interior of McSorley's famous saloon that Sloan had depicted. He had a long history with the Butler Institute in Youngstown, OH.
