About the Item
Edward Emerson Simmons was a key member of the group known as The Ten American Painters (or more commonly “The Ten”), an important association of artists who came together in 1897. The group was formed for the purpose of exhibiting the members' works, independent of any gallery or museum establishment, which they did successfully over the next 20 years. The Ten included other celebrated American artists such as Childe Hassam, John Twachtman, Julien Alden Weir, and William Merritt Chase.
Simmons was born in Concord, Massachusetts and was related to—as well as named after—the great writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. Simmons graduated from Harvard in 1874, and began his formal artistic training at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1877. From there he went on to Paris to study at the prestigious Académie Julian, and the École des Beaux-Arts, the preeminent art school in France.
The murals that Simmons created throughout his career are perhaps his most acknowledged works, but he did produce a significant number of oil paintings as well. He achieved notable success and critical acclaim for his colorful Impressionist landscapes, several of which appeared in exhibitions produced by The Ten.
Simmons visited Nantucket on various occasions, completing this particular work in July 1916 in Sconset. The piece was later exhibited in the 1916 and 1917 exhibitions of The Ten in Providence and New York.

- Colors in the WindBy Nicholas BergerLocated in Greenwich, CTNicholas Berger Biography American, b. 1949 In his more than three decades as an artist, Nicholas Berger (b. 1949) has created an outstanding body of work that continues to evolve and excite viewers. Best known for his industrial, waterfront scenes of New York between 1930-1970, Berger effortlessly captures a period when the technology and landscape of the city was rapidly changing. Although he paints scenes of a bygone era, Berger draws inspiration from the waterfronts near his home in New York’s Hudson River Highlands as well as historical sources in museums. Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University. Earlier in his career, the artist painted representational landscapes rendered in watercolor, a medium in which he achieved great success, sharing a sellout two-person show in Tokyo with Andrew Wyeth. In the mid-2000s, Berger transitioned to his signature industrial scenes of the city, employing oil on panel in a painterly manner influenced by the Hudson River and Brandywine schools...Category
