As Per The Current Owner, This painting had been previously owned by Ellis Phillips, president of the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) and was hung in his home at Plandome Manor, NY until he moved to Florida in the late 1950s. The painting was given to my grandfather, Philip Chmela, who was the caretaker of the house and grounds. My grandfather gave the painting to my father, Dr. Wm. S.C. Dolan, M.D. and it hung in his houses in Garden City, NY and Norway, ME until 2009. In 2009, the painting came to our house in The Villages, FL where it has been hung since. We gifted the painting to our daughter, Julia K. Dolan when she got her Master's degree from Penn State University. She went on to get her doctorate at Boston University and has been the Minor White Curator of Photography at the Portland (OR) Art Museum.

        Louis Paul Dessar (American, b. 1867, d. 1952) Canche River Landscape Etaples, France O/B Painting 1892

        Est: $1,500 - $2,500

        Signed and dated 1892 in oil, lower right. It is titled on the back in pencil. Dessar was six years old when his family moved to New York City. He attended the College of the City of New York from 1881 until the fall of 1883, at which time he entered the National Academy of Design to study under Lemuel Wilmarth and John Q. A. Ward until 1886. During these three years, he maintained a studio in New York, painting in the summers from 1884 to 1886 at his parents' home in Nyack, New York. In the fall of 1886 he went to Paris, where he entered the Académie Julian. There, he studied under Bouguereau and Robert-Fleury for three years, taking additional classes at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1889 and 1890. During the summers between 1887 and 1891, he sketched in London and on the Island of Jersey, and in Brittany, Madrid, Toledo, in the Forest of Fontainebleau, Brolle, and Étaples. Dessar returned briefly to New York in 1891 to marry and was back in France in the fall to begin an eight-month stay at Giverny. He built a home in Étaples in 1892, returning to New York during the winters of 1894 to 1897 to paint portraits. Dessar's early training in France was a wise beginning in the 1880s for an aspiring portrait painter; ironically, it provided the principal stimulus for his shift to landscape painting. According to William McCormick, Dessar was inspired to make this change after viewing several Barbizon landscapes in the drawing room of one of his wealthy sitters.

Artist Biography: Louis Paul Dessar, who was born on January 22, 1861 in Indianapolis, Indiana, is best known for his Tonalist agrarian paintings, with farmers and their animals working in the fields. He graduated from the National Academy of Design in New York after completing study from City College. Later he traveled to Europe to study under William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury at the French Academy and Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris. Dessar returned to New York City in 1892 where he made his living as a story painter and portraitist for about a decade. He was a member of a cadre of Tonalists that included Sergei Bogert, Robert Minor Sr, and Frederic Kost. Most of Dessar's winters were spent in New York, and most of his summers in Becket Hill, near Old Lyme, Connecticut. It was there that Henry Ranger, who had inspired him to go there in 1900, influenced Dessar. In Old Lyme, Dessar concentrated on agrarian scenes of nature in the Barbizon Tonalist mood. It was because of this style that his contemporaries called him the "Millet of America". An example of such work is A Load of Brush (1912, oil on canvas, now in the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. He sought the perfect combination of light and color, working slowly, sometimes taking as long as a couple of years to complete a work. Dessar rarely exhibited his works, although he is known to have shown his work at an exhibit in 1902 at the public library of Old Lyme, along with Ranger, Talcott, Cohen, and Voorhees. When the Impressionists took over at the Griswold House in Old Lyme, Ranger built a summer studio in 1904 in Noank, farther up the coast near Mystic, and from then on associated with the artists of that colony. Other Tonalist painters in Old Lyme of the early group around Ranger, including Dessar and Jules Turcas, moved six miles away, to Grassy Hill. Dessar became a member of the Salmagundi Club in 1895; Society of American Artists in 1898; an Associate to the National Academy, a member of the Lotus Club in 1900; and a member of the National Academy in 1906. He was awarded the Third Class medal at the Paris Salon of 1891, and a medal at the Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. He was awarded honorable mention at the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg in 1897; the second Hallgarten Prize at the National Academy in 1899; and the first Hallgarten prize in 1900. He again was awarded a Bronze medal at the Pan-Am Exposition in 1901 and Silver in the Charleston Exposition.
