GODEL & CO HUSH OF WINTER

tg/lsb set 12-22 #614097

NEW YORK CITY — Godel & Co. Fine Art is to exhibit “The Hush of Winter: Snow Scenes by American Artists.” The exhibition, opening January 13 and continuing through March 19, celebrates the hibernal transformation of the landscape as recorded by American artists from the Nineteenth Century to the present.

Highlights of the show include “Skating Scene in Holland,” Johann Mengels Culverhouse, which was inspired by the genre paintings of his native country. On the quieter side of winter is “Winter Farmyard,” one of the finest works by George Boice Durrie, which captures the slow rhythm of daily life in the snow-covered New England countryside.

Still other artists discovered a more subtle beauty in the winter landscape. Birge Harrison, an important Tonalist painter who led the art colony at Woodstock, N.Y., transformed a simple snow scene into a sensitive study of color in “Snow Bound.”

“The Hush of Winter: Snow Scenes by American Artists” also features works by Allen Blagden, John F. Carlson, Ernest Lawson, Jonas Lie, Jervis McEntee, Walter Launt Palmer, Lilla Cabot Perry and Levi Wells Prentice.
