Homestead in a Snowy Landscape

Homestead in a Snowy Landscape

A rare surviving example of a painting by the artist. It’s unknown how prolific he was in creating works such as this, although he most likely used the medium of oil paint for some of the poster work he did for the commercial lithography firms he worked for. In 1918, he became a member of The Society of Independent Artists and like hundreds of others, paid a $6.00 entry fee to have several works displayed in their 2nd annual exhibition.
