About the Item

Corwin Knapp Linson American, 1864-1934 Flower Patch Oil on canvas 24 by 34 in, w/ frame 31 ½ by 41 ½ in Signed lower right, dated 1892 Inventory Number: 01914 Corwin Knapp Linson, was an artist and illustrator who worked with his friend and roommate, Stephen Crane, author of the Civil War novella, The Red Badge of Courage. Crane read about the War in Century Magazine in Linson's New York studio, declaring, "These fellows spout eternally of what they did, but they never say how they feel. They are as emotionless as rocks." Linson would write a book about Crane, My Stephen Crane. Several versions of the manuscript, and photographs of Crane taken by Linson, are in the Special Collections Research Center of the Syracuse University Library in New York. In 1978, Heddy A. Richter wrote a study of Linson's book, The Long Foreground of Corwin Knapp Linson's My Stephen Crane. In mid-May 1894, Linson and Crane went to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to investigate, for the McClure publishing company, working conditions for the coal miners. Linson illustrated the resulting article by Crane, "In the Depths of a Coal Mine," which was syndicated by McClure in various newspapers on July 22, 1894, and included in the August 1894 issue of McClure's Magazine. Stephen Crane was one of those writers who sought the experience of the lives of the under-classes in America. Linson provided food and rest in his studio for Crane and another artist, William W. Carroll, after they had spent four days and three nights in New York's Bowery, gathering material which would become part of the writer's 1894, An Experiment in Misery. Such work would link Crane with political economist Walter Wyckoff, who, in 1891, had traveled in poverty for nineteen months across the country, though he did not publish his accounts until 1897. Crane and Wyckoff would meet through Corwin Linson, who would later illustrate one of Wyckoff's articles. Linson was an attendee at the 1896 Olympic Games held in Greece, and a co-signer of a letter to Greek royalty supporting use of Greece as the continuing site of future Olympics. From the 1920s-1950s, Corwin Linson lived and worked in the borough of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, bordering on Raritan Bay. Linson's watercolor, The Lyre of Pindar: the Play at Olympia, 1896, and his wash drawing, Houses on the Side of the Acropolis, c. 1901, both appeared in George Horton's article, "Modern Athens," in the February 1901 issue of Scribner's magazine. The art work is now in the Cabinet of American Illustration, in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, in Washington, D.C.

By Eugene Henri Alexandre Chigot

Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire

Signed post impressionist landscape oil on canvas circa 1905 by French painter Eugene Henri Alexandre Chigot. The work depicts summer flowers - yellow sunflowers and pink foxgloves - blooming outside a cottage on a hilltop. The cottage is white with a red roof and green shutters. A tree branch overhangs the path beside the cottage. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 38"x46" Unframed: 29"x37" Provenance: Private collection - France A pupil of his father Alphonse Chigot, Eugène Chigot enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1880, where he studied under Vayson, Cabanel and Bonnat. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1884-1924, and was commended by the jury of 1885, winning a third-class medal in 1887 and a second-class medal in 1890. After travelling in Spain, in 1887 he settled in Étaples in Flanders, before returning to Paris, where he became a founder of the Salon d'Automne. He was awarded bronze medals at the Paris Expositions Universelles of 1889 and 1990, and held his first solo show in Paris in 1905. He was an inspector of the museums of painting and drawing curated by the French maritime ministry, and an Officer of the Légion d'Honneur. His early works are large-scale history paintings, which he quickly relinquished in favour of landscapes, depicting scenes from his travels in southern France, Italy, the Auvergne, Vendée, Brittany and Flanders, whose light he particularly appreciated. Some of his works are reminiscent of paintings by Pissarro...
