Alice M. Wright (American,1881-1975), Sailing Ship in Cove, Oil on Canvas Signed - $350 - (Exeter, NH)

This is a wonderful oil on canvas painting of a sailing ship guided by a tug boat in a canal, by noted American artist Alice Morgan Wright (American, 1881-1975). The painting is signed in the lower right. The painting was done late 19th or early 20th century. The painting is housed in a beautiful gold colored wood ornate frame. The frame measures 39” by 31.” The canvas measures 32" by 22." A fine addition to any collection. Primarily a sculptor, Alice Morgan Wright grew up in Albany, New York and became one of the first American sculptors to use cubist forms, as in "Medea" (1920). She studied sculpture at the Art Students League from 1905 to 1910 with Herman MacNeil, Gutzon Borglum, and James Earle Fraser. While in Paris at the Academie Colarossi, 1910 1912, she was impressed by the Cubist movement and began to integrate its fractured planes and geometric forms with expressive themes. Her statue of Lady Macbeth is at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D. C. If additional photographs are needed please contact me. _gsrx_vers_625 (GS 6.9.7 (625))
