Thomas Buford Meteyard (American, 1865-1928)A view of the coast at Scituate, Massachusetts, 'Les Brissants' signed lower left, oil on canvas, 38cm x 56cm Provenance: With The Redfern Gallery, Mayfair, London, no. 379 Purchased from the above by Mrs Geoffery HowardThomas Buford Meteyard was an American painter and graphic artist, who worked at the crossroads of some of the most important art movements of his day. After growing up in Rock Island, Illinois, and studying at Harvard (1885-87), Meteyard went to England where he encountered members of the Aesthetic Movement, notably designer Walter Crane and painter and illustrator Edward Burne-Jones. He then travelled to Paris, where Meteyard entered the atelier of Léon Bonnat, while also studying with Alfred Phillippe Roll andAuguste-Joseph Delecluse.Meteyard continued to travel, and in the early 1890s, joined the international artists’ colonyat Giverny, just north of Paris. Like so many other artists, including the Americans Robert Vonnoh, Lilla Cabot Perry, and John Leslie Breck, Meteyard was attracted to Giverny by its natural beauty and by the presence there of Claude Monet. Predictably, Meteyard was influenced by the Impressionists and, like them, took a keen interest in the aesthetics of Asian art. Meteyard flourished in Europe’s bohemian milieu and was one of the first Americans to have his work included in the early Post-Impressionist exhibitions.Meteyard moved to England once again in 1906, and after marrying British-born Isabel Barber in 1910, became a permanent resident. He continued to work as a landscape painter until his death.

Advertising Art Nouveau original vintage poster The Fine Art Society's Exhibition - Water Colours of Flower Time. In the Austrian Tyrol Italy & England by Rosa Wallis. The Fine Art Society are art dealers with two premises, one in New Bond Street, London occupied since February 1876, and given a new entrance facade in 1881 by Edward William Godwin (1833–1886), and most recently fully refurbished in 2004–05, with a new gallery created for contemporary work. The other gallery is in Dundas Street in Edinburgh's New Town (originally Bourne Fine Art, established 1978). The gallery is also known as the pioneer of the one-man exhibition, most famously that of James McNeill Whistler's First Venice Set of etchings in December 1880; the gallery having sent Whistler to Venice in 1879 in part to enable him to escape from the issues following his libel action against John Ruskin. The commission was for Whistler to travel to Venice for three months to create a series of twelve etchings. Beguiled by the city, he stayed for fourteen months and completed approximately fifty etchings. Venice also inspired Whistler to make some hundred works in pastel, of which 53 were shown in the Venice Pastels exhibition in 1881. During Whistler's absence in Venice, the gallery showed his antagonist John Ruskin's private Collection of Watercolours by J. M. W. Turner, and ran a subscription to pay for Ruskin's legal costs: a supreme exhibition of political sleight of hand. Other living exhibitors at the London premises included Sir John Everett Millais, John Singer Sargent, Burne-Jones, Frank Brangwyn, Walter Richard Sickert, Walter Crane, George Washington Lambert, Henry Charles Brewer and Joseph Southall, and more recently Leonard Rosoman, Emma Sargent, Emily Young, John Byrne, Alexander Stoddart and Geoffrey Clarke. Of many memorial exhibitions held, one was for Lady Alma Tadema in 1910.Fair condition, tears in margins, waving, creases. County: UK, year of printing:1910s, designer: Charles R.
