"August Evening, " Masterful Landscape with Figure by MacGilvary, 1930s

About the Item

Full of dramatic, shifting light and deep, atmospheric colors, this landscape painting by Norwood MacGilvary depicts rolling farmland and a winding road, with a dramatic mountainside and approaching storm in the distance. The colors are muted and rich, with the freshly-tilled fields in a shade of reddish-brown, trees and hills in shades of green, and a deep blue and purple mountain. MacGilvary's loving depiction of the American landscape demonstrates the influence of Social Realism and Grant Wood in particular. The artist studied in France and exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Art Institute in Chicago before settling down to teach at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh for over 20 years. The medium is oil on masonite. (Dimensions include frame.).
