James King Bonnar (1883/85 - 1961) American
Est: $1,000 - $2,500
James King Bonnar (1883/85 - 1961) , Oil on canvas , Signed , measures 24 x 30 inches A painter's painter, Bonnar was the youngest of the New England painters gathered around Emile Gruppe, Anthony Thieme, and Aldro Hibbard. We strongly believe that his work is receiving increasing attention and progressively finding a reception that matches what his fellow masters are bringing. He was true to the New England pattern, painting Rockport marines in summer (he had a summer home in the Portuguese fishing community section of Gloucester) and Vermont snowscapes in the winter. But his excellence is easily seen in the work we are calling Winter in Vermont, where his cobalt blue hues are in perfect harmony with the sky. Most important for us is this gem of a snowscape itself, in which Bonnar catches the quintessential aim of his fellow painters by showing the fallen snow as the true painter of the landscape.
