Vollian Rann
Boat to Sea

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. This dramatic maritime depiction lacks none of Théodore Géricault’s narrative ferocity.

  • "Cedar Hill"
    By George William Sotter
    Located in Lambertville, NJ
    Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork. Signed lower right. Original Period Newcomb Macklin Frame George William Sotter (1879 - 1953) Born in Pittsburgh on September 25, 1879, Sotter began his art education with local teachers and with Henry G. Keller, who had studied in various German academies. Keller, known for his superb, atmospheric watercolors, taught at the Cleveland School of Art but Sotter studied with him in Pittsburgh. Later Sotter would exhibit between 1903 and 1937 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His works were also shown at the Corcoran Gallery (1912-23), the Carnegie International (1901-26), the National Academy of Design (1913 and 1921), and at the Art Institute of Chicago (1911-27). In 1915, Sotter exhibited four works at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where he won a silver medal. Sotter was known mainly as a stained-glass artist; his work may be seen from New York City to Salt Lake City. Around a dozen craftsmen worked under him for these commissions. Sotter spent the summer of 1902 with Pennsylvania impressionist Edward Redfield in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Between 1910 and 1919, Sotter taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. His paintings often feature large areas of sky filled with clouds and he frequently painted winter night scenes, such as Moonlight, Bucks County (Beacon Hill Fine Art), a perfectly successful depiction of a quiet, moonlit landscape filled with twinkling stars. Star-studded skies, although rare in landscape painting, go back at least to 1600 when they appear in the oeuvre of Adam Elsheimer...
