Ellison Hoover Ohio, New York, (1888-1955) mountain scene print Signed lower right. Biography from the Archives of askART: The following, submitted May 2005, is from Valentine Rossilli Winsey, Ph.D. My grandfather, Alexander Hammerslough, who died in l966 at age 81, was a close friend of Ellison Hoover and his charming, good-looking wife. I was a dinner guest in their home in Greenwich Village on many occasions. During the early '50's Ellison had a one-man show in a gallery on Martha's Vineyard which consisted of his head drawings of many celebrities, including James Cagney. I, too, was privileged with one of his drawings of myself - several of which I still have. It was a memorable experience to watch as Ellison swiftly drew an outline of my profile and entire head without once taking his pencil off the canvas. The result was breathtaking. I also have a number of his etchings, including one called "The Brooklyn Bridge". It's black and white and quite beautiful. So, too, are some of his delightful drawings he made while on a stay in Paris. Another is of the Washington Arch in Washington Square near N.Y.U., etc. Ellison Hoover worked for The Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, which is, of course, no longer in print. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A syndicated cartoonist for the "New York Herald Tribune" and creator of "Mr. and Mrs. cartoons for national magazines, Ellison Hoover was also a lithographer whose subjects included scenes of New York City. He was born in Cleveland and studied at the Cleveland School of Art and the Art Students League with George Brandt Bridgman (1864-1943), from whom he studied anatomy including the drawing of faces. (Bridgman wrote a popular instruction book he titled "Bridgman's Book of Hundred Hands, Features and Faces". Ellison was also a painter of landscape scenes and was a member of the Washington DC Water Color Club. Exhibition venues included the Grand Central Galleries, Library of Congress, National Academy of Design and Mint Museum. Source: Peter Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art"

ELLISON HOOVER Washington Arch.
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
ELLISON HOOVER Washington Arch. Lithograph, circa 1930. 290x237 mm; 11 3/8x9 1/2 inches, full margins. Edition of 40. Signed in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression. Like Edward Hopper, Hoover (1888-1955) had also supported himself as a commercial illustrator. Though Hopper disliked this line of work, once claiming that, "Illustrating was a depressing experience. And I didn't get very good prices because I didn't often do what they wanted," Hoover found his work more fulfilling, becoming a syndicated cartoonist while also enjoying a reputation as an accomplished fine artist and printmaker. Hoover was born in Cleveland and studied at the Cleveland School of Art and the Art Students League in New York. There are stylistic parallels between Hoover and Hopper, in a 1950 review of Hoover's Parisian scenes, Margaret Breuning for The Art Digest commented that they, "Seize the feel of place so trenchantly that they are nostalgic. They are little vignettes of different phases of the city's life, only slightly stressing architectural setting. With a few deft touches of color and surety of line the artist weaves, through one vivid incident, a whole pattern of life and living."
