Emma Fordyce MacRae Figurative Paintings

American, 1887-1974
Philadelphia Ten Woman Artist, Emma Fordyce Macrae grew up in New York City where she attended the Art Students League (1911-13) and (1915-18). She had studios in New York City and Gloucester, Massachusetts where she summered. In 1937 she began exhibiting with the Philadelphia Ten Women Painters. She was also the only Philadelphia Ten member to attain full membership in the National Academy of Design in New York. She rarely sold her work due to her wealth and in 1983 Richard York Gallery held an exhibit of 30 of her works. Her paintings combine floral arrangements with a patterned, often figural, background in a fresco style that she developed after visiting the Roman wall paintings at Pompeii and Herculaneum. She never varnished her work as to maintain the frescoed appearance.

"Lobster Pots" Gloucester Massachusetts Seashore Scene Oil Painting with Figure

By Christopher Willett 1

Located in New York, NY

Impressionist seashore landscape with figure of fisherman, lobster pots, and crashing waves in Gloucester Massachusetts. Willet has portrayed this piece in a most dramatic and energetic way and has packed much feeling into this miniature work. It is almost as if we are there in the waves in the early morning, with the man and his lobster pots. Christopher is known for capturing the beauty and simplicity of an earlier time of the 20th Century; old New York, families working together, villages and farms and friends taking walks together. Many are depicted in recognizable historical settings and this piece is an excellent example of this. Christopher engages his audience with the quick use of brushwork and great attention to picking up the energy passionately of his subjects. The piece comes housed in a decorated dark tone wood frame and it is ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso. Art measures 5 x 7 inches Frame measures 7.25 x 9.25 inches Christopher Willett...
