Philip Evergood Landscape Paintings

American, 1901-1973
Philip Evergood was an American Social Realist painter. An advocate for civil rights, much of his work depicted the daily lives of working-class people, as seen in his hallmark piece, Sunnyside of the Street (1950). “Actually if you paint a group of country folk having a feast like Brueghel did it's social painting, too,” the artist said. “But then when you get down to paintings like The Massacre of the Innocents (1566) by Brueghel when Holland was occupied by the Spanish and you have people smashing doors down and bringing out infants and cutting them in half with swords then you're doing a very brave kind of social statement.” Born Howard Blashki in 1901 in New York, NY, his father was the Australian landscape painter Miles Evergood. It was his father that anglicized the family name from the Jewish-Polish Blashki to Evergood, when Philip was a child. Moving with his parents to London in 1909, he went on to study at Eton College and Cambridge University. Set on pursuing a career in art he enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art, studying under Henry Tonks. Returning to New York in 1923, he studied with the Ashcan School painter George Luks. During the Great Depression, the artist worked for the WPA, creating murals in both Queens, NY, and Jackson, GA. Evergood died in 1973 in Bridgewater, CT. Today, his works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Philip Evergood, Little Rock, Oil on Canvas, 1955 - "Civil Rights."

By Philip Evergood

Located in Miami, FL

"Civil Rights." Evergood's early commentary on racial issues in the 1950s depicts four black men gagged, roped, and hanging from the "Tree of Life," which represents the unique interconnectedness of life. In the background, imprisoned blacks look on through a barbed-wire fence. Whites watch in horror but do nothing to help. Meanwhile, a two-legged, three-headed serpent wraps itself around the tree that both physically and symbolically separates the races. This is an important work in the history of American art. It may be one of the very earliest examples of a major American painter doing a major work that challenges racial segregation and injustice at a time when no one else would. The title of the work is inspired by a Historic Supreme Court decision on racial segregation. The Little Rock...

Les Baigneuses - Neo-Impressionist Nudes in Landscape Oil by Georges Lemmen

By Georges Lemmen

Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire

Signed oil on canvas nudes in landscape circa 1910 by Belgian neo-impressionist painter Georges Lemmen. The work depicts nude bathers on a sunny beach beside the sea. Signature: Signed lower left with the cachet of painter Dimensions: Framed: 23.5"x24.5" Unframed: 14.5"x15.5" Provenance: Olivier Bertrand (expert on the painter) has confirmed the authenticity of this work Georges Lemmen was the son of an architect and studied under Amédée Bourson at the academy in St Joost-ten-Node. He was invited in 1889 to join the Group of Twenty ( Cercle des XX) which had been launched in 1884 by Oscar Maus and had in the interim emerged as an influential force in Belgian artistic circles, not least by bringing to public and critical attention the work of such artists as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The Cercle des XX would be reborn in 1894 as La Libre Esthétique. In the early days of the Cercle des XX, Lemmen espoused a pointilliste technique. His earlier painting was clearly influenced by the Neo-Impressionists; over time, however, his style became more subtle and nuanced - recalling, perhaps, that of his compatriot Van Rysselberghe, another Cercle des XX member. With the group's rebirth as the Libre Esthétique, Lemmen's work became more intimiste in character, most notably in his portraits, nudes and still-lifes, where the influence of Bonnard and Vuillard is unmistakable, as is that of Renoir, particularly after Lemmen's travels in the Midi in 1911. From this point onwards, he would go on to make a major contribution to the renewal of the graphic and decorative arts in terms of his input to the new 'free' aesthetic and to Art Nouveau. Although his draughtsmanship retained its essential purity and elegance of line, his painting became more fleshy, imprecise and sensual, his compositions governed less by technical considerations than by the urgent need to express his emotions. Between 1889 and 1893, Lemmen exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, aligning himself with the Neo-Impressionists. In 1893, Henry van de Velde invited him to participate in the Pour l'Art association that had been created in Antwerp. He travelled to the south of France in 1911. By this juncture, he had already exhibited solo on two occasions (in 1906 and 1908) at the Galerie Druet in Paris. A further solo exhibition in 1913, his first in Brussels, cemented Lemmen's reputation.
