BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Edmund Oppenheim occupies a unique place in the history of American painting. A thoroughgoing Impressionist, he was a student of Charles Hawthorne on Cape Cod and Harvey Dunn in New York. Another strong influence was Walter Biggs, the incomparable American illustrator whose freely-brushed watercolor paintings graced most leading magazines in the early decades of the Twentieth Century. Oppenheim was principally a painter of charming easel pictures, which exude a gracious, mellow poetry. Several motifs recur with frequency in his oeuvre: mother and child in an idyllic landscape, beautiful women posing modestly in a gentle Victorian interior, lush floral still lifes, young ballerinas posing in stage costume, decorous nudes in a domestic interior. But Oppenheim also painted many portraits professionally, strong in characterization and rich in painterly qualities. These masterly portraits, hanging in public and private collections throughout the United States, firmly establish his right to be considered among the foremost American portraitists. It was his popular portrait classes at the Art Students League in New York, featuring his electrifying demonstrations, that created his enduring reputation as a teacher. I myself was a student in those League classes, and I credit Oppenheim with awakening my awareness of what painting is all about. From the very beginning, I set out to emulate the Oppenheim technique. The soft edges, the flowing brush strokes, the selective focus, the mystery and elegance of the conception, all this was fascinating. But behind it all was a solid, honest realism standing firmly on the bedrock of observation. "Observation is everything,' he would say. 'Look and see what is there. The model is the teacher in this class. She says nothing, but she tells you everything." Essential to the technique were two concepts: first, drawing is the key to painting. Behind everything is accuracy of observation in drawing and, second, the tonal values must be right. It must be right in black and white before it can be right in color. Exquisite color will not save a painting that is faulty in drawing and inaccurate in value. He was committed to the concept of the single-sitting portrait study as the basic discipline. He felt that the urgency of the time constraint forced the artist to concentrate on essentials. We worked on a white canvas, mixing on a white palette. We made no preliminary drawing in another medium, but rather proceeded directly with the brush, blocking in the architecture of the head as simply but accurately as possible. Ten percent of the total working time was to be devoted to this drawing.

          ARTIST: Samuel Edmund Oppenheim (New York, 1901 - 1992) TITLE: Portrait of Woman MEDIUM: oil on canvas CONDITION: Some paint losses. No visible inpaint under UV light. ART SIZE: 18 x 14 inches / 45 x 35 cm FRAME SIZE: unframed (In-House framing available) SIGNATURE: lower left CATEGORY: old antique vintage painting for auction sale online AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 125156 US Shipping $49 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Edmund Oppenheim occupies a unique place in the history of American painting. A thoroughgoing Impressionist, he was a student of Charles Hawthorne on Cape Cod and Harvey Dunn in New York. Another strong influence was Walter Biggs, the incomparable American illustrator whose freely-brushed watercolor paintings graced most leading magazines in the early decades of the Twentieth Century. Oppenheim was principally a painter of charming easel pictures, which exude a gracious, mellow poetry. Several motifs recur with frequency in his oeuvre: mother and child in an idyllic landscape, beautiful women posing modestly in a gentle Victorian interior, lush floral still lifes, young ballerinas posing in stage costume, decorous nudes in a domestic interior. But Oppenheim also painted many portraits professionally, strong in characterization and rich in painterly qualities. These masterly portraits, hanging in public and private collections throughout the United States, firmly establish his right to be considered among the foremost American portraitists. It was his popular portrait classes at the Art Students League in New York, featuring his electrifying demonstrations, that created his enduring reputation as a teacher.I myself was a student in those League classes, and I credit Oppenheim with awakening my awareness of what painting is all about. From the very beginning, I set out to emulate the Oppenheim technique. The soft edges, the flowing brush strokes, the selective focus, the mystery and elegance of the conception, all this was fascinating. But behind it all was a solid, honest realism standing firmly on the bedrock of observation. "Observation is everything,' he would say. 'Look and see what is there. The model is the teacher in this class. She says nothing, but she tells you everything."Essential to the technique were two concepts: first, drawing is the key to painting. Behind everything is accuracy of observation in drawing and, second, the tonal values must be right. It must be right in black and white before it can be right in color. Exquisite color will not save a painting that is faulty in drawing and inaccurate in value.He was committed to the concept of the single-sitting portrait study as the basic discipline. He felt that the urgency of the time constraint forced the artist to concentrate on essentials. We worked on a white canvas, mixing on a white palette. We made no preliminary drawing in another medium, but rather proceeded directly with the brush, blocking in the architecture of the head as simply but accurately as possible. Ten percent of the total working time was to be devoted to this drawing.
