E. AMBROSE WEBSTER Massachusetts, 1869-1935 "Red House Provincetown". Signed lower right "E. A. Webster". Titled on gallery label verso. After early studies under Edmund Tarbell and Frank Benson in Boston, E. Ambrose Webster spent nearly three years in Europe with Post-Impressionists. Upon his return to the United States in 1900, he had developed his characteristic style that reveled in light and color. Webster's career spanned 40 years, consistently within the Modernist movement. He traveled and exhibited widely and maintained connections with artists around the globe, from Henry Matisse to Charles Hawthorne and Edward Hopper."Red House, Provincetown" was described in a 1968 Art News article as "an extraordinary, independent painting". Here the light is glowing, with a warm and almost palpable intensity, and the interwoven organic forms are contrasted by the stark geometry of the house. It is also distinguished by its extensive provenance and exhibition history. The painting was in the collection of the artist and his wife, and it remained in the family for nearly 80 years. Oil on canvas, 20" x 24". Framed 30" x 36".
