Donald Teague'After the Rain, Venice', National Academy, Metropolitan Museum, AWS, NWS, ASLCirca 1965
Circa 1965
About the Item
Signed, lower right, 'Donald Teague, N.A'. (American, 1897-1991); additionally signed, verso, and titled, 'Showery Day - Venice' and painted circa 1965.
Provenance: Private Estate, Rancho Mirage, California.
A substantial oil painting of Venice after the rain, showing numerous fashionably-dressed pedestrians walking alongside the Bacino San Marco beneath a dramatic architectural detail of the gothic tracery of the Ducal Palace. A naval frigate and a passenger liner are anchored in the calm waters of the lagoon while, on the right, stand a group of gondoliers, awaiting their next passengers.
Born in Brooklyn, Donald Teague studied at the Pratt Institute and, subsequently, under George Bridgman and Frank Vincent DuMond at the Art Students League in New York. After serving in the Navy during WWI, Teague remained in London to study with Norman Wilkinson. On his return to New York, he continued his studies at the Art Students League with Dean Cornwell who, in 1921, helped Teague receive his first commissions as an illustrator for national magazines. Because Teague became engaged as the primary illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, he signed his Collier's illustrations with the brush-name of Edwin Dawes.
In the 1920's, Teague spent several summers on a Colorado ranch where he began to paint equestrian studies and developed his understanding of equine anatomy. Moving to California in 1938, he began to specialize as an illustrator of Western scenes. When Collier's ceased publication in 1958, Teague ended his career as an illustrator. He moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea, becoming an Artist Member of the Carmel Art Association and devoting the next thirty years to his vocation as a fine artist.
Over the course of a long and successful career, Teague was the recipient of numerous prestigious prizes, medals and juried awards including five First Prizes from the National Academy of Western Art, both the Gold and Silver Medal Honors from the American Watercolor Society, the S.F.B. Morse Gold Medal from the National Academy of Western Art, and two Gold Medals from the Cowboy Artists of America. In 1948, he was elected to the National Academy of Design.
Donald Teague also won international recognition for his landscape and figural work, exhibiting in major museums throughout the world, including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, London's Royal Watercolour Society, the Tokyo Museum, the Peking National Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Watercolor in Mexico City, The Chicago Art Institute, the Sydney Museum in Australia and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, among others.
We are pleased to offer this large and luminous view of La Serenissima that shows masterful handling of the reflections of cloudy skies in the rain-wet paving stones. The painting is accompanied by a hardback, first-edition copy of 'Donald Teague: A Life in Color' by Claudia Meyer, Introduction by Tom Lovell, Nygard Publishing, 1988.

Donald Teague
Donald Teague, N.A. (1897-1991), one of the premier watercolorists of this century, was born in Brooklyn, New York. From 1916 to 1917, he studied under Bridgman and DuMond at the famed Art Students League in New York. After serving in the Navy during WWI, he became the pupil of Norman Wilkinson in London. Upon his return to New York he continued his studies at the Art Students League under the tutelage of Dean Cornwell, who helped Teague begin his long art career as an illustrator in 1921. Because he was the primary illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, he signed Collier's illustrations with another name, Edwin Dawes. In the 1920's, Teague spent several summers on a Colorado ranch. When he moved to California in 1938, he specialized as a Western illustrator until Collier's ceased publication in 1958. After finishing his career as an illustrator, Teague devoted his entire time to painting. During his lifetime he won international recognition and numerous awards for his paintings, including five First Prizes from the National Academy of Western Art, both the Gold and Silver Medal Honors from the American Watercolor Society, the S.F.B. Morse Gold Medal from the National Academy of Western Art, and two Gold Medals from the Cowboy Artists of America. His work has been exhibited in major museum collections throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Royal Watercolour Society, the Tokyo Museum, the Peking National Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Watercolor in Mexico City, Chicago's Art Institute, the Sydney Museum in Australia, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. The uniqueness of Donald Teague's work lies in his own personality and in his ability to transmit it into a painting, to tell in watercolor what he saw and felt when he discovered the subject of the painting. His watercolors are a kind of realism he calls synthesis, for rarely, if you returned to the spot and the moment where a Teague painting began, could you find the same image as that in the painting.
