PAINTINGS WE LOVE: While we love all of our paintings, these are standouts

Artworks
Mary Elizabeth Price
Hollyhock and Oriental Poppy
This work by Mary Elizabeth Price is one of the beautiful objects we have handled, and certainly the finest freestanding painting by the artist we have seen. Many of her works are screens or decorative elements on furniture, this painting is a work onto itself and it’s glorious. Price’s artistic style and technique are singular in their originality and execution, making paintings like this one extremely collectible.

Daniel Garber
Summer Morning, 1912
Daniel Garber painted summer like no one else could. His ability to capture the look and feel of the summer landscape in Bucks County is a defining feature of his high style. Summer Morning is an early painting, making it a seminal work in the development of his artistic career. With a limited palette, tapestry-like brushwork and exceptional command of light, Garber paints the scene as he saw and experienced it, which is not unlike how it still appears today.

Fern Isabel Coppedge
New Hope Hills, c. 1931
Fern Isabel Coppedge is arguably the most unique and unusual of all the Pennsylvania Impressionists. Like her fellow artists, Coppedge was a plein-air painter and preferred to work directly from nature. However, she did not restrict herself to a literal translation of it. Rather, her paintings depart from the realist tradition and take on a highly personal note, particularly due to her use of an iridescent and vibrant palette. New Hope Hills is Coppedge at her finest.

Thomas Hart Benton
Jessie on a Swing, 1940s
Thomas Hart Benton made a painting for his daughter, Jessie, every year of her life as a child. He once joked that she would never be able to lie about her age. This painting of Jessie on a swing is wonderfully personal but also a stellar example of Benton’s mature style. Through his command of the undulating lines, bold color, and dynamic movement, Benton conjures a sense of place like only he could. The house pictured is the family home, which now a historic site.
Artworks
John Marin
Weehawken Sequence, c. 1910-1916
The Weehawkin Sequence paintings are some of John Marin’s most innovative and daring paintings, and this work is an excellent example. The body of work was completed by 1916, making the paintings some of the most abstract and modern works by American artist created before the First World War. The dynamic brushwork of this painting perfectly captures the staccato forms that make up the composition. Marin boldly experiments with form and color in an almost improvisational way. The composition bursts from the canvas, barely contained by its edges.
Artworks
John White Alexander
Still Life, 1883
A wonderful personal story accompanies this gorgeous still life by John White Alexander. The painting was intended as a Christmas gift from the artist to Agnes Clark, the sister of Thomas Clark, one of Alexander's students. According to the family lore, Alexander was in love with Agnes, but sadly the romance never progressed very far. The rich palette and bravura brushwork, which demonstrate Alexander's deft artistic skill, also perfectly capture the almost elegiac quality of the still life itself.

Irving Ramsey Wiles
Seated Nude
This is the most beautiful painting by Irving Ramsey Wiles that we have seen. Artfully composed and skillfully executed, the painting speaks to Wiles's consummate love of beauty, elegance and grace. The composition, palette, and setting all work in concert with Wiles's deep sensitivity to subject to create a work that is exceptional and rare.
