Thomas R. Curtin (American, 1899-1977) - Foggy Morning, Vinalhaven, Maine. Watercolor painting, early 1960's, 15 inches x 22 inches (sight). Signed in lower left. In this atmospheric painting, Thomas Curtin has captured the rocky coastline on Vinalhaven Island, Maine, as a sea fret rolls in on the land. 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.' Condition: slight toning along the edges of the image (but can be easily hidden with a new matte).
