I select Inness not only because he is to me one of the great landscape-painters of his day, but because he chooses a very wide range of subjects, from early morning to twilight, expressing these truthfully, absolutely, perfectly, so far as local color is concerned that is, of course, as I see through either my own spectacles or Inness's; but, then, remember, our eyes may need repair.
The pictures of George Inness, Sanford Gifford, Kensett, McEntee, Hart, Eastman Johnson, Hubbard, Church, Casilaer, Whittredge, and the others had been frequently discussed around the piano on the top floor at Miss Teetum's, and their merits and supposed demerits often hotly contested. He had met Kensett once at the house of Mr.
That is what makes him original in the American sense, and so recognizable in the New England sense. He is one of New England's strongest spokesmen, and takes his place by the side of Ryder, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Fuller, Whittier, and such representative temperaments, and it is this quality that distinguishes him from men like Inness, Wyant, and the less typical painters.
I know I need any amount of sleep to make up arrears." "You don't look sleepy." "How could I, in New York?" "We don't need to sleep here. Sit down again. Eve Inness is quite definitely given up." "But " Mrs. Shiffney looked at him, and he sat down. At that moment he remembered the morning in the pine wood at Constantine, and how she had looked at him then.
Whatever may be the final estimation of the works of Inness and Wyant, there can be no doubt that they produced pictures things conceived and worked out to give one definite and complete impression; things in which what was presented and what was eliminated were equally determined by a definite purpose; things in which accident and the immediate dominance of nature had little or no part.
It is unnecessary for Inness to cover his ground with snow to make his picture express a certain degree of cold, neither is it necessary for Monténard to fill his Provençal roads with clouds of dust to show how hot they are.
"I'm afraid I must send you away now, for I believe I will run in for a minute to Eve Inness, after all." As Claude descended to the hall he knew that he had left an enemy behind him. But the knowledge which really troubled him was that he deserved to have Mrs. Shiffney for an enemy. His own self, his own manhood, whipped him. That night, when Claude arrived at the St.
All these men were poor men with highly distinguished aristocratic natures and powerful physiques, as to appearances, with mentalities much beyond the average. When an exhibition of modern American painting is given, as it surely will and must be, these men and not the Barbizonian echoes as represented by Inness, Wyant & Co., will represent for us the really great beginning of art in America.
It does not seem to me that I can better illustrate this quality of the gray than by rapidly going over some of the works of George Inness lately on exhibition in New York certainly to me the most marvellous examples of the power of a human mind to harmonize the subtle colorings of nature.
The Inness family had just moved from Newburg, probably the elder Innes seeking in Newark a good location for his son's beginning. The first art-work Inness did was engraving; as he had been apprenticed to that business, but afterward he studied with Gignoux, a pupil of Delaroche. At that time there was what is known as the Hudson River School.
