Description: For sale is one of several exquisite watercolor paintings by the well regarded American Watercolor Society New York Artist and teacher Edgar A. Whitney (1891 - 1987) that we are selling here in our eBay Store. Whitney exhibited widely during his career as an artist and teacher. His Whitney Watercolor Tours were hugely popular. Provenance: Formerly from the E.A. Whitney Estate. This is an original watercolor on heavy arches paper. Whitney had an almost figurative abstract expressionist style to his landscapes. This painting is a fine example of his best work. It features wooded landscape with a swift moving stream crossing through. In the distance is a mountainous background. The wet on wet technique here abstracts some of the figural forms of trees bushes outcroppings and landscape in the classic and distinctive style of Whitney. Unframed. Condition: Good. Slight bends on corner. Measurements: 7 1/2” x 22 1/4” Signed in pencil E. A. Whitney. Whitney had a more elaborate signature so unsure if this is Estate signed or by the artist. The painting is 100% by E. A. Whitney. His style is very distinctive. Edgar A, Whitney, A.W.S. spent twenty-five years in commercial art, including five years as art director at McCann-Erickson, before devoting himself full time to painting and teaching. He taught figure, portrait, and pictorial composition at Pratt Institute, lectured at New York University, and was a guest lecturer at the Columbia Graduates Club. In addition, he demonstrated and taught for art organizations throughout the United States. Around 1958, Mr. Whitney taught in the New York metropolitan area in spring and fall and conducted his "Whitney Watercolor Tours Through New England" in summer, and lectured in the South and West in the Winter. Edgar A Whitney was a contributing editor to American Artist and is the author of the article on watercolor and casein painting in the Grolier Encyclopedia. A film short by Universal Films, titled Watercolor Holiday, features Mr. Whitney.
