Sol Wilson

Sol Wilson, American (1896 - 1974). Sol Wilson both studied and taught in New York City, spending summers first in Rockport, MA (1927-1946) and then in Provincetown from 1947 on. Wilson considered himself an "expressionist realist " painter and was a popular teacher at the American Artists School, School of Art Studies, and the Art Students League in New York City. He was a strong believer in the value of socially relevant art, art that "capture(s) the mood and spirit of the time", as well as the development of a native and national form of art. Recently the subject of a major retrospective on Cape Cod, Sol Wilson painted many harbor scenes of fishermen and other figures on docks against the backdrop of dark and foreboding skies including "End of Pier" where Wilson's dark blue sky is intensified by the bright white footings of the pier. "End of Pier" Signed lower left. Oil on canvas. 16" x 20"   To purchase this painting, you may     by email, or call the gallery directly.
