Description: A fine impressionist landscape painting with a mill building by American artist Walter Clark (1848-1917). Clark was born in Brooklyn, New York, studied engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, traveled in Europe, India, China, and Japan, and then spent time in Wyoming as a sheep herder. He returned to New York to study art at the National Academy of Design with Lemuel Wilmarth and for five years with Jonathan Scott Hartley. In 1880, he came much under the influence of George Inness Sr., because of having a studio next to Inness. Beginning 1883, Clark was exhibiting landscapes at the National Academy of Design, and increasingly, he was turning from Tonalism to Impressionism, influenced not only by Inness but by his friends John Twachtman, Edward Potthast, and Joseph DeCamp. During the summers, he painted in Cos Cob, Gloucester, and Ogunquit, Maine. In 1893, his paintings were exhibited at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago; in 1901 at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York; and 1904 at the St. Louis Exposition celebrating the Louisiana Purchase. Walter became well known not only as a sculptor, but a painter of subdued, pastoral landscapes of Long Island, Chadds Ford, and other East Coast destinations.Oil on canvas, signed lower right, artist placard lower center, and housed in a fine molded giltwood frame.
