About the Item

This oil on board painting depicts what looks like the Northern Rockies, probably in Montana. The painting has many interesting textures as the artist has sought to render land, water vegetation and sky with careful brushwork. The painting measures 18 inches x 30 inches (21 inches x 33 inches framed). It is signed in the lower left, “Leonard Lopp.” The painting is in good condition. There is some craquelure in the evergreen trees on the right and the water below the trees. The frame is a nice wood frame of muted gold with green highlights that goes well with the painting. It is in fair to good condition with a small chip in the lower molding, visible if you look closely. The painting is by noted Western artist Harry Leonard Lopp (1888-1974). An extensive biography follows with thanks to the Hockaday Museum. Harry Leonard Lopp was born May 1, 1888, near Highmore, South Dakota. Lopp was raised on a cattle ranch and attended nearby Canton and Elk Point schools where he showed early signs of artistic talent by drawing everything around him. Later, he studied art under Professor P.J. Rennings at Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska, and privately with Professor John Updyke and Robert Wood. On July 1, 1917, he was married to Margaret Booth of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Together they painted and traveled over much of the United States, Canada and Alaska. During much of the 1920s, Lopp was staff artist for the Hudson Bay Company of Canada and exhibited from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Following a move to Great Falls, Montana in 1936, Lopp was appointed staff artist for the Glacier Park Hotel Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, exhibiting every summer at Many Glacier Hotel at Swiftcurrent Lake and selling his work to Glacier Park visitors until 1941. National art recognition was achieved in 1941 when Lopp was invited to New York for a one-man show at the exclusive Milch Gallery. During their two-month stay in New York, the Lopps were the guests of art collector George H.S. Rowe and glacier geologist Dr. Jim Dyson of Colgate University and his wife, with whom the Lopps had spent many days hiking on the trails in Glacier National Park. As his career continued, Lopp had additional shows and won the Premier Award, Fine Arts Department in the Montana State Fair at Great Falls in 1961. His work was in the collections of former President Harry S. Truman, FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, national parks photographer John Kabel, the Lions International President, the Conrad National Bank of Kalispell, and the Bank of Idaho at Boise. (right: Leonard Lopp, Many Glacier Valley, oil. On loan from the collection of Robert and Jane Lopp) As a celebrated artist with many accomplishments, one in particular was very important to Lopp. In a biography of Lopp that will be included in the exhibition catalog, local writer Sue Rolfing writes that: "As an artist Leonard was a modest man, content to let his work, his wife, and the reporters attest to his talent. He was however, most proud of one thing: the great honor of having been found worthy of restoring the works of Charles M. Russell for both the Russell Memorial Gallery and the Elks Club in Great Falls." Lopp passed away in Kalispell in 1974. Over his 50-year career, Lopp produced hundreds of paintings and is today best known for his landscapes of Glacier National Park. His passion for the beauty of Glacier Park and his ability to record it on canvas has secured him a permanent position as one of the great artists of Montana and the West.
