LAURA WOODWARD (American, 1834-1926) BEACH WITH CRASHING WAVES

LAURA WOODWARD (American, 1834-1926) BEACH WITH CRASHING WAVES. Oil on canvas Housed in its original gesso decorated gilt frame with small losses Signed lower left “Laura Woodward” While Laura Woodward is currently thought of as one of Florida’s most important women artists of the 19th century, her ties to the northeast are significant. Born in New York State, Woodward early on championed the East coast landscape, with painting expeditions taking her to the Adirondacks, the Catskills and along the Massachusetts and Maine coastlines. Very well thought of and reviewed, she was a member of the Hudson River and White Mountain Schools, and exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Boston Art Club and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, among others. Beginning in the 1880’s Woodward would spend the winters in Saint Augustine, Florida, and by 1889 she joined Martin Johnson Heade and other artists at Flagler’s Ponce de Leon Hotel. Looking for more exotic flora and fauna, Woodward ultimately settled in Palm Beach, which became her home from 1893 until her death in 1926. SIZE: 24″ x 40″. Overall: 32″ x 48-1/2″ CONDITION: Surface dirt otherwise very good 9-90256 (1,000-1,500)
