Thomas R. Curtin (American, 1899-1977) - Last Rays on Mt. Mansfield and Farm in Winter. Oil on artist board. Circa 1960s. Size: 12 inches x 16 inches. Stamped artist's signature in lower right and signed by artist on reverse. A dramatic, diminutive winter view of Mount Mansfield, with the ridge-lines hi-lighted in pink hews cast by the setting sun, while a farm in the valley below is already settling into the dusk of evening. Excellent condition and recently cleaned. Offered in a carved and gilded vintage Arts and Crafts style 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. Curtin found a mentor and friend in John F. Carlson, whose influence is apparent in Curtin's paintings. Curtin spent a great deal of his 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 1940's, Curtin began spending part of his summers on 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, VT, where he continued his tradition of landscape painting 'en plein air.'
