John Henry Twachtman, American, 1853 to 1902, a Post Impressionist pastel on paper painting depicting a forest landscape. Signed lower right, J.H. Twachtman. Housed in an old gilt wood and gesso frame. Provenance: The estate of Leonard E. Walley, Dallas, TX. Note: Landscape painter John Henry Twachtman was one of the most original and modern artists of the late nineteenth century. Trained in Munich and Paris, and a member of the most advanced American artist groups of his day, John H. Twachtman was at the forefront of the American avant-garde throughout his career. The work of his Greenwich Period, for which he is best known, was influenced by Impressionism and Tonalism, yet Twachtman's stylistic synthesis was unique. Often compared with Claude Monet and James McNeill Whistler, Twachtman developed an experimental technique and explored innovative compositional means to create subtle and poetic images that anticipated directions in twentieth-century abstract painting.
