About the Item

Provenance Private collection; Christie's, Fine American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, New York, March 9, 2007, lot 120 A fine example of Jonas Lie's mature artistic style, Winter Birches exhibits the robust composition and bold brushwork that earned Lie great critical acclaim. The strong palette compliments the line and form and also speaks to Lie's great interest in color. He was first exposed to the power of color during a trip to France in 1906, when he saw the work of the French Impressionists. This interest only grew when he was exposed to the work of Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, and the Fauves. Indeed chromatic innovations played a critical role in the development and success of Lie's artistic style. Lie's interest in the landscape, particularly the forest and the sea, probably began when he was a young boy living in Norway. Like most of his fellow countrymen, Lie developed an enduring attachment to the natural world that continued unabated throughout his career. His observations of the landscape, particularly the spectral qualities of winter light, inform his work with a sense of realism that is brilliantly combined with the loose brushwork and novel compositions of Impressionism. Lie enjoyed success during his lifetime. He exhibited at MacBeth Galleries in 1921 and participated in annual exhibitions there until 1934. He was also affiliated with Madison, Folsom, and Knoedler Galleries. Lie was awarded numerous prizes at the various art shows he participated in. He sat on the board of the Art Students League and served as president of the National Academy of Design from 1934 to 1939.

Jonas Lie

A painter best known for views of New York City and the New England coast, Jonas Lie worked in a vigorous, colorful style reflecting the influence of French Impressionism and the realism of the Ashcan School. He was born in Moss, Norway, the son of a Norwegian engineer and his American wife. When his father died in 1892, Lie's life changed abruptly. He was sent to live for three months with Christian Skredvig, a painter who resided near Oslo. Then, he was sent to live with his uncle in Paris. Lie found himself at the center of a community of expatriated Scandinavian literary figures. Among those who visited his uncle's home were the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and the Norwegian playwright Hendrik Ibsen. After learning of his interest in drawing, Lie's uncle enrolled him in a private art school and took him on visits to the Louvre. Lie's life changed again in 1893, when he was reunited with his mother and sisters in New York. After graduating, Lie was faced with the responsibility of supporting his family and took a job as designer of textile patterns at Manchester Mills, New York. During the evenings he attended classes at the National Academy of Design, Cooper Union, and the Art Students League. He spent his Sundays painting in his Manhattan studio and sketching at Rockaway Beach. His role model during his early New York years was Fritz Thaulow, a Norwegian painter who worked in an Impressionist style. After leaving his job in 1906 to concentrate on art, Lie became influenced by the works of the Eight, the group of American artists who were focusing on urban subjects, which they painted in a realist fashion with dark tonalities and vigorous brushwork. Lie embraced the ideology of the Eight and adopted their bold techniques. In 1909, Lie returned to Paris, spending three months painting along the Seine. Upon returning to America Lie expanded his subject matter to include views of mountainous countrysides and shores. He began to paint along the New England coast and in the Adirondacks, subjects he focused on throughout the rest of his career. In 1913, Lie traveled to Panama, where he observed and recorded the construction of the Panama Canal. Lie's Panama Canal series brought him a significant amount of renown. In the years after his return from Panama, Lie was a popular and outspoken figure in the New York art scene. In 1919, he led a protest against the jury system of the National Academy of Design that ended in a revolt by a group of prominent artists. This group, which included Paul Manship, George Bellows, and Joseph Pennell, established the American Painters, Sculptors, and Gravers Society. Despite his participation in a separatist group, Lie did not resign from the National Academy. Remaining a member of the Academy, he helped to initiate changes in the organization's policies, and in 1934, he was elected president of the Academy, a post he held until 1939.

Winter Stream

By Jonas Lie

Located in Milford, NH

A fine impressionist landscape of a winter stream by American artist Jonas Lie (1880-1940). Lie was born in Moss, Norway to an accomplished Norwegian engineer and an American mother. Named after his uncle, a novelist and close friend of Henrik Ibsen, Jonas went to Paris to live with his uncle in 1892, after his father's death. Surely it was here, the twelve year-old boy was influenced by the creative spirit found in his uncle's home. In 1893, Jonas moved to New York City, where he took evening classes at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League while working designing fabric patterns for a textile company to raise money to support his education. After the completion of his education, Lie spent most of his summers along the New England coast and Canada. Here he would paint bright, impressionistic harbor scenes and rocky, coastal views, which he would exhibit regularly. The landscapes and coastal paintings Lie created in New England can be characterized by a facile, broad handling of pigment and an impressionistic sense of light and air. was a prolific painter, known for his coastal views of New England and New York scenes. He became the president of the National Academy of Design from 1935 to 1939, a year before his death. Lie was also known for a series of paintings of the last days of construction of the Panama Canal in 1913. These paintings were given to the United States Military Academy...
