      Harry Wilson Barnitz (American/Ohio, 1864-1916)

      Est: $8,000 - $12,000

      Harry Wilson Barnitz (American/Ohio, 1864-1916), "Cabin Scene during the Cotton Harvest", oil on canvas board, signed lower right, artist label with signature on stretcher, 18 in. x 24 in., framed. Provenance: Florida Estate. Note: Harry W. Barnitz was a student of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and studied under the renowned American Realist painter, Thomas Eakins. Eakins, who painted a portrait of Barnitz when he was just nineteen, complimented his young student in a letter from 1884, “[y]ou draw and paint very well and extremely well for your age. I know no one who has a better start.” In 1887, he moved to Atlanta for a brief period and taught at the Atlanta Art School as well as the Washington Seminary for Girls. He also shared a studio with Henry Ossawa Tanner, a fellow student from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Orion Frazee, a local sculptor, art critic, and prominent figure of the Atlanta art scene described him: “his manner is the broad, vigorous style of the French school – is strong and rich in color.” Barnitz left Atlanta to return to Philadelphia in 1889. A rare example from Barnitz’ time in the South, the work offered here presents a sweeping view of a southern landscape complete with rustic cabin, a woman washing clothes in the stream and a cotton harvest in the background. The composition, luminous color and precise brushwork certainly lend credence to Eakins’ glowing review of the young painter.
