Kenneth R. Nunamaker
"Hillside Farm, Autumn"

About the Item

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork. Signed lower right. Complemented by a hand carved and gilt frame. Kenneth Nunamaker (1890 - 1957) Kenneth R. Nunamaker was born in Akron, Ohio in 1890. He received his official training in the art department of the Akron Engraving Company. He painted in his spare time, largely learning his craft through experimentation and the observation of nature, translating the landscape around him onto his canvases. Nunamaker moved to the Philadelphia area in 1918, living first in Glenside. He took a job at the Hoedt Studios, a commercial art firm in Philadelphia, where he was soon promoted to art director. By this time, Nunamaker was already an extremely competent landscape painter. Continuing to paint as often as possible, he began making frequent trips to New Hope while also starting to participate in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy. In 1923, Nunamaker with his family moved to Center Bridge, Pennsylvania. There, he developed a close association with members of the New Hope Art Colony. Nunamaker was strongly influenced by the impressionist paintings by Edward Redfield, particularly those of Center Bridge, who subsequently took the young artist “under his wing”. With Redfield as an unofficial instructor, Nunamaker became acquainted with Daniel Garber and other artists who were living and working around the New Hope Art Colony. He left Hoedt Studios in 1945 and with his son, Alfred, opened their own freelance commercial art studio in the Beury Building in Philadelphia. Kenneth Nunamaker painted atmospheric impressionist landscapes. His technique employed a thickly layered impasto with a soft but rich well blended palette. His earlier work mostly resembles that of his mentor, Edward Redfield, with thick vigorous brushwork. His later work relates more to Garber, using much lighter application of paint and with more attention to detail. Throughout his career, he exhibited extensively in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Nunamaker’s work was included in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, the Woodmere Art Museum, the Peabody Institute, the Phillips Mill Art Association, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the International Gallery in Venice, the National Academy of Design, and the Salmagundi Club.

  • Early 20th Century Mission San Juan Capistrano - Figurative Landscape
    By Warren E. Rollins
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Stunning figurative landscape of the Mission San Juan Capistrano by Warren Eliphalet Rollins (American, 1861-1962). Presented in a giltwood frame. "Capistrano" lower right, unsigned. This is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Image size, 14.5"H x 21"W. For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony." He was the first artist to have a formal exhibition there; it was held in 1906 in the old Palace of the Governors. He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century. Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane...
