Philadelphia: Woodmere Art Museum, 2015. Softcover. Color-illustrated celery wraps. 32 pp. with 24 color illus. and numerous bw photos and illus. As New. Item #153126
Making a Big Impressionism marks the first major exhibition of the work of Raymond Theel (1891–1952). A relatively obscure artist, Theel painted large-scale, impressionistic landscapes of his hometown in Jarrettown, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area. Tragically, a fire in 1943 destroyed most of his work. Woodmere’s exhibition is a rare opportunity to see the artist’s surviving paintings. Expressive experiments with color, line, and perspective characterize his large depictions of wooded areas. This catalogue is the first publication to present and analyze Theel’s accomplishments. In addition to a detailed artist chronology, the catalogue will reproduce a majority of the known paintings by this enigmatic artist. From the exhibition of July to November 2015.
