JULIUS ROLSHOVEN (American 1858-1930)
Sun Arrow, circa 1916-1920
Oil on canvas
36 x 28 inches (58.4 x 71.1 cm)
Signed and inscribed upper left: "Sun Arrow"/Taos, N.M./J. Rolshoven

Provenance:Dorothy and William Harmsen, Sr. (Denver, Colorado)

Literature:
Van Daren Coke, Taos and Santa Fe: The Artist's Environment 1182-1942 (Albuquerque, New Mexico: The University of New Mexico Press, 1963);
Arrell Morgan Gibson, The Santa Fe and Taos Colonies: Age of the Muses, (Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1983);
Dorothy Harmsen, American Western Art (Denver, Colorado: Harmsen Publishing Company, 1977), p. 173 (reproduced)

Rolshoven was born in Detroit, Michigan. His father Frederick was a master goldsmith of German descent who founded one of Detroit's leading jewelry firms. Rolshoven studied at the Cooper Union in New York, the Dusseldorf Academy, the Munich Art Academy, privately with Frank Duveneck in Germany and Italy, and to the Académie Julien in Paris. After teaching art in Paris from 1890 to 1895, Rolshoven moved to London where he continued teaching for seven years. From there he moved to Florence, where he settled in 1902. Rolshoven returned to America following the outbreak of World War I. In 1915, he and his wife Harriette were impressed by the beauty of the New Mexico Building at the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. The experience motivated them to travel to New Mexico in early 1916. Captivated by Sante Fe and Taos, they spent nearly five years living in the state. Rolshoven remarked that he had 'traveled all over . . . in search of atmosphere, but nowhere else have I seen nature ever provide everything, even the conception, as it does in New Mexico' (Gibson, p. 11).

Rolshoven became an Associate Member of the Taos Society of Artists in 1917 and an Active Member in 1918. He had a studio at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, but often worked outdoo

Robert William Wood (American, 1889-1979)
Cloudy Day
Oil on canvas
25-1/2 x 30-1/2 inches (64.8 x 77.5 cm)
Signed lower right: Robt. Wood

Robert William Wood is an icon in American landscape painting, which historically has been called "The American School". As with any artist, there is a period time and subject that collectors, museums, scholars and admirers begin to consider an artist's most important - for Wood the late-1920s and early-1930s, while living just outside of San Antonio in Texas Hill Country has over time become his. Cloudy Day, 1923 was created during this period. It shows the influence of two of the best early Texas artists-his teacher, Jose Arpa, and the legendary Julian Onderdonk, the Texas landscape Impressionist by which all others are measured, especially when it comes to bluebonnet paintings. Wood's Texas Bluebonnets does not seek to copy Onderdonk's iconic approach to the subject but it does capture the light, atmosphere, and grandeur of the Texas Hill Country in a way that few other artists have matched. From the open sky bursting with clouds and the hazy horizon to the painterly middle-ground and the vibrant blue of the foreground, it is a masterpiece of the kind that rarely becomes available on the open market.
