About the Item

Antique American impressionist landscape oil painting. Oil on canvas. Framed. Signed. Artist bio; Lawrence, William Hurd (1866-1938) "Invincible!" By Charles B. Driscoll Some beautiful watercolor landscapes attracted my attention in a New York gallery a few days ago. There were a whole room full of them. Gorgeous coloring, delicate blending, imaginative drawing. I spent some time examining these unusual pictures. The skill of the artists hand amazed me. So I asked the proprietor of the gallery about this William Hurd Lawrence, whose signature was found on the pieces. William Hurd Lawrence was a well known illustrator twenty years ago. He succeeded the great Howard Pyle as chief illustrator for Harper’s Weekly, now defunct, but then a great magazine. Traveling in South America, seeking local color for some illustrating he was then doing for the weekly, Lawrence suffered a sunstroke. He recovered slowly, and when he was again able to be about, his right hand and arm were lifeless. For nearly twenty years Lawrence has labored, teaching his left hand to do what his right was no longer able to attempt. And now the artist has come back. The left hand is more skillful than the right ever was. The work Lawrence is now doing is far superior to any work he ever did heretofore.
