Thomas R. Curtin (American, 1899-1977) painting of a Mountain Road - Autumn. Oil on canvas. Circa 1950s. Size: 18 inches x 20 inches. Artist signature in lower right. In this work, Thomas Curtin directs our gaze away from the traces of early morning snow on a winding mountain road and out across to the sunny autumnal river valley and to the purple hills beyond. Excellent condition and recently placed upon a new stretcher. Offered in a period carved, gilt wood frame. Thomas Curtin was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He studied at the prestigious National Academy of Design and Art Students League, both in New York City. There, Curtin found a mentor and friend in John F. Carlson, whose influence is apparent in Curtin's paintings. Curtin spent a great deal of time painting on Cape Anne, in the coastal communities of Gloucester and Rockport, and he became affiliated with the North Shore Artists Association, where he befriended the painters Emile Gruppe and Aldro Hibbard. In the 1940s, Curtin began spending part of his summers in Vinalhaven, the legendary island of painters on the coast of Maine, and also commenced trips to Vermont. In 1957, Curtin moved to the rural village of Jeffersonville, Vermont, where he continued his tradition of landscape painting 'en plain air.'
