Rae Sloan Bredin (American/Pennsylvania, 1881-1933) Oil on canvas Artist plaque to frame; Accompanied by family photographs including the subject, Catherine Bredin, and geneological information. 30" x 30" (sight) 34" x 34" (framed) The following examples by Rae Sloan Bredin are all descended in the family of the artist and personally gifted by the artist to family members. This garden subject depicting his mother, Catherine Sloan, is particularly substantial in size and emblematic of his finest work in the vein of the New Hope, Pennsylvania School of Impressionists. Catherine Sloan, seated here on a bench, is surrounded by spring gardens and greenery. Rae Sloan and his sister Christine were each artists, and seemed to be fond of Catherine, as each produced likenesses of their mother. Rae Sloan Bredin, along with the likes of Daniel Garber (1880-1958), William Langsom Lathrop (1859-1938), and several others, were the founding members of the New Hop Group, and their collaboration served as the nascence of the Pennsylvania Impressionists. He was most keen to depict his family members in recreational garden settings. This subject lent itself to the American Impressionist movement, and his most celebrated works tend to depict his children and his wife.Â
