Thomas Buford Meteyard, Portrait de lui-meme travaillant
Est: £3,000 - £5,000
Thomas Buford Meteyard, American 1865-1928- Portrait de lui-meme travaillant; oil on canvas, inscribed 'Meteyard' in pencil verso, bears stamp for 'Paul Foinet' verso, 41 x 32.7 cm. Provenance: with The Redfern Gallery, London; where purchased by Mrs Lees-Milne on 7 December 1954; thence by descent to the present owners. Note: Meteyard was a member of a group of artists who are often called the 'Scituate Artist Colony', active from the 1890s to the 1910s. He travelled to Europe in the 1880s, visiting London and Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under Léon Bonnat (1833-1922) and Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898). Meteyard was clearly heavily influenced by the works of Impressionist painters which he encountered on his travels. Indeed, the present work, like much of his oeuvre, displays a strong debt to Claude Monet (1840-1926), which may well have been informed by his visit to Giverny with his fellow American artists in the summer of 1890.

Thomas Buford Meteyard (1865-1928) American oil on canvas, Mrs Meteyard in Henry James' Garden at Rye, Sussex, 1956 Redfern Gallery label verso, 22 x 16 ins. E8000-12000 See Illustration. Thomas Meteyard and his wife Isabel moved to Rye in 1911, where they settled into a house abutting that of Henry James. They had been given an introduction to James through his brother William who had taught Meteyard philosophy at Harvard. It was during his time in Rye that Meteyard painted a series of portraits of his wife which relate to the contemporaneous work of the Camden Town Group, inaugorated by Lucien Pissaro in 1911. At this time the artists' work clearly adopts a change in direction towards post-impressionism as can be seen in a related work 'The Peacock Hat'.
