Alexander Bower
An American Impressionist, Alexander Bower was born in New York, studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and was living with his wife in Cliff Island, Maine, by 1914. Despite his urban upbringing, the coast and the sea fascinated Bower. A large portion of his paintings are seascapes, particularly scenes depicting the coast of Cape Elizabeth and Cliff Island, Maine. Bower was a member of the Salmagundi Club, the Philadelphia Watercolor Club and the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters, as well as being an associate member of the National Academy of Design. He exhibited at the Carnegie Institute, the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Bower’s works are in the collection of the Springfield Art Museum, the Butler Art Institute, the Sweat Memorial Art Museum, the Portland Museum of Art and the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine. Bower was not only a painter but also was the Director of the Sweat Memorial Art Museum and Director of the School of Fine and Applied Art (both in Portland, Maine), a trustee at Westbrook College in Portland, Maine and an art instructor at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.

- "Waiting for the Tide to Rise, " Emile Gruppe, Boats at Dock, Cape Ann SchoolBy Emile GruppeLocated in New York, NYEmile Gruppe Waiting for the Tide to Rise, circa 1930s Signed lower right Oil on canvas 40 x 32 inches Provenance: Newman Galleries, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (as Waiting for Sunrise). Acquired directly from the above. Private Collection, Pennsylvania. Emile Gruppe was an unusually prolific artist. He was at his easel almost every day and created thousands of paintings over a career that lasted 60 years. At his peak, he was completing almost 200 oil paintings a year. Yet he has never failed to find an audience for his depictions of New England in autumn and winter, or his harbor scenes of Rockport and Gloucester in Massachusetts. Gruppe was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York to an artistic family--his father, brother, sister and nephew were all artists. Emile spent his youth in Katwyk an Zee, a fishing village in Holland, where his father, Charles Gruppe, worked as both an artist and an art dealer. Emile lived in the Netherlands until he was 17, when the family returned permanently to the United States to avoid World War I. In New York City, Gruppe attended classes at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Students League, where he studied under Charles Chapman and George Bridgman. He also studied with John Carlson in Woodstock, New York, where he gained an appreciation for outdoor painting. Carlson “turned me into a painter,” he later said. Gruppe helped found the Rockport Art Association in 1921, but he is most closely linked to Gloucester where he lived from about 1940 until his death. He operated the Gloucester School of Painting from the 1940s into the 1970s and helped turn the Rocky Neck area of East Gloucester into a world-famous art colony. The school boasted an impressive faculty but Gruppe’s own exuberant plein-air demonstrations were often the highlight of the week. Gloucester, with its fleet of whimsically painted fishing vessels, crowded wharf buildings and shacks, and picturesque inhabitants, never ceased to fascinate Gruppe. He also helped popularize Rockport’s famous fishing shack known as Motif #1, sometimes called “the most often-painted building in America.” By the 1940s, Gruppe was one of the most prominent of the Cape Ann artists...Category
