About the Item

An exceptional impressionist landscape of a farm in the mist in Giverny, France by American artist Theodore Earl Butler (1891-1936). Butler was born in Columbus, Ohio, and moved to Paris to study art. He befriended Claude Monet in Giverny, and married his stepdaughter, Suzanne Hoschedé. (After her death he married her sister, Marthe Hoschedé.) Butler studied at Marietta College in Ohio and graduated in 1882. He studied at the Art Students League with James Carroll Beckwith, Kenyon Cox and J. Alden Weir and under William Merritt Chase from 1884 to 1886. Butler then moved to Paris where he concentrated on domestic subjects, painted indoors or in his garden. Although his Impressionistic approach to painting sometimes reflected the influence of his father-in-law, his work also suggests Post-Impressionist tendencies. Equally noticeable in Butler's brushwork are qualities that align him with the work of Paul Gauguin. In his later work, he experimented further with Fauve principles, painting landscapes in Giverny and on the Normandy coast, sometimes applying color directly from the tube. Butler was a founding member of the Society of Independent Artists. Oil on canvas, signed and dated 91 lower right, titled on front placard and on Maxwell Galleries verso label (San Francisco) “Farm in the Mist, Giverny 1891,” as well as inscribed on verso, and housed in a fine gadrooned edge giltwood frame. Dimensions: 18 in H x 22 in W, actual; 31.5 in H x 35.5 in W, framed.
