JOSEPH CHRISTIAN LEYENDECKER (1874-1951)
Saturday Evening Post cover, November 24, 1928
Oil on canvas
28.5in. x 20.5in. (sight size)
Initialed lower left: JCL

As Michael Schau noted in J.C. Leyendecker, "Leyendecker painted his first Saturday Evening Post cover in 1899 and he continued to work for the magazine until 1943, creating 322 covers for The Post. The reputation gained as a result of his magazine covers established Leyendecker as one of America's most popular illustrators." This painting is reproduced on page 142 of Michael Schau's book. Leyendecker was elected to the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame in 1977.

This sensational painting shows America's evolution over three centuries of Thanksgiving holidays. From the accomplishments of the stern, pioneering, and freedom-fighting colonists of 1628, to the entertainments provided by the battered, yet playful grid-iron stalwarts of 1928, this blessed country has plenty to celebrate each November. Both figures regard each other as they are each given a heroic and monumental presence by Leyendecker. His vigorous and energetic brushwork bathes the figures in a sparkling light, creating a noble vision of pure Americana.

EANGER IRVING COUSE (American 1866-1936)
Study for Flute Player with his Sons (Indian Campfire), 1916
Oil on canvas
6 x 35 inches (15.2 x 58.4 cm)
Signed lower left: Couse

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

Literature:
Couse family Archives;
Ellen Landis, Eanger Irving Couse: Image Maker for America (Albuquerque, New Mexico: Albuquerque Museum Foundation, 1991) p. 19;
Nicholas Woloshuk, E. Irving Couse 1866-1926 (Santa Fe, New Mexico: Santa Fe Village Art Museum, 1976), illus. p. 37

Couse was born and raised in the logging town of Saganaw, Michigan, where as a youngster he drew the Chippewa Indians who lived nearby. While still a teenager he attended the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Academy of Design in New York. At the age of twenty he traveled to France, where he studied at the Académie Julien under William Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. Couse remained in France for nearly a decade, and specialized in painting landscapes and peasant subjects. In 1889, he married fellow art student Virginia Walker, a rancher's daughter from the state of Washington. In 1891 they settled for a year at the Walker family's ranch in Klikitat County. While living there Couse produced his first oil paintings of Native Americans.

In 1898, Couse established a winter studio in New York, and spent the next few summers away from the city, painting in Washington, Connecticut and France. In May 1902, Couse learned of Taos, New Mexico through a conversation with his artist friend Ernest Blumenschein. Shortly thereafter he traveled to Taos for the first of his regular summer stays. In 1910 he purchased an old Spanish monastery, which he converted into a studio and home. Five years later, when the Taos Society of Artists was formed, Couse was elected its first President. In 1928, he and his family gave up their New York home and settled permanently in Taos.

A native of Virginia, Breckenridge attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he eventually taught after traveling and studying abroad. He is recognized as one of the leading Impressionist landscape painters of his time.

The Phlox Garden features the garden of Breckenridge's home in Fort Washington, dubbed "Phloxdale" because of the profusion of the flower on his property. In his landscape paintings, Breckenridge sought to represent every season and mood of nature, as well as a variety of light effects.
