George
Gardner Symons
(1861-1930)
|
|
Frost Bound Stream
25 x 30 inches |
Frost Bound Stream
is one of the finest examples of George Gardner
Symons well-known snow scenes. The art critics
praised Symons for his lively paintings of ice
covered streams reflecting the multitude of colors.
Symons was
honored to sell a large snow scene to the
Metropolitan of Art in New York in 1910 establishing
his success as one of the most revered artists of
the time. Symons wisely used to the proceeds
from the sale to further his career. George Gardner
Symons was elected an associate member of the
National Academy of Design the same year in 1910.
He was given full membership in 1911.
Rarely is an
artist equally revered on both coasts of the United
States; however, Symons is indeed both a prominent
figure in Eastern art circles as well as in the
California school. Symons began his art
training at the Art Institute of Chicago. It
was there that he met his life-long friend and
painting companion, William Wendt (1865-1946).
Symons continued his studies in Munich, Paris and
London and eventually settled in Brooklyn. He
made his first trip to California in 1884 and in
1896 accompanied by Wendt, returned and built a
studio in what is now south Laguna Beach.
Works held:
Metropolitan Museum, New York; Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Sciences; Art Institute of Chicago;
Cincinnati Museum; Corcoran Museum; Laguna Art
Museum; The Irvine Museum; Fleischer Collection,
Arizona; Butler Institute, Ohio; Los Angeles County
Museum; Toledo Museum; Union League Club,
Chicago; Fort Worth Museum; Minneapolis Institute of
Art.
