Vollian Rann
Fishermen & Nets

n.d.

About the Item

Vollian Burr Rann was a painter and printmaker known for vivid, impressionistic landscapes and seascapes depicting Cape Cod, as well as portraiture. He worked primarily with oils and watercolors, although he frequently produced woodblock prints. Rann Studied at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at George Washington University, and at the National Academy of Design with Charles Webster Hawthorne. He was a member of the Provincetown Arts Association Museum where he acceded to honorary Vice President. He exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the National Academy of Design, among others. Rann had a school in Provincetown for a number of years and was an instructor to Nancy Whorf, among others. The quiet energy of this group of fishermen seems to function without time: Have things happened, or are they about to happen? Rann’s narrative genius is fully demonstrated in this dynamic oil painting.

  • "Woman Dressing"
    By Frederick Carl Frieseke
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Jim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this work by Frederick Carl Frieseke (1874 – 1939). Frederick Carl Frieseke was a member of the third generation of American painters to inhabit and find inspiration from Giverny, France. His use of bright colors and light, to depict the female figure, defined the style of the Giverny group during his residence, synthesizing aspects of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Born in the United States, Frieseke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. In 1898, he moved to Paris to enroll in the Académie Julian, where he studied under Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. During this time, Frieseke also briefly studied with James A. Whistler, who would prove to be a great inspiration in Frieseke’s early works. From Whistler, Frieseke adopted a tonalist palette and a decorative approach to figurative painting. While in Paris, Frieseke’s works were featured at the American Art Association of Paris and in several annual salon exhibitions. His painting, “Before the Mirror...

    By Martha Walter

    Jim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this piece by Martha Walter (1875 - 1976). Born in Philadelphia in 1875, Martha Walter attended Girls’ High School followed by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It was at the Academy that Walter’s artistic talent was discovered. An admiring instructor by the name of William Merritt Chase took young Martha under his wing, giving her both inspiration and direction. She additionally enrolled with Chase at his summer school in Shinnecock, Long Island and in 1903, was awarded the Cresson Traveling Scholarship by the Pennsylvania Academy. This sent Martha Walter on travels to France, Italy, Spain, and Holland, where she attended the Grand Chaumiere and the Academie Julian in Paris. Afterwards, she established a studio on the Rue De Bagneaux in France with several other American women artists...
