- Lot Description
Boating on Lake George. George W. Waters (1832-1912). Oil on canvas, 1883. Signed and dated lower right: "G.W. Waters / 83". 18 x 30 inches. Provenance: private collection, Ithaca, New York George W. Waters was born in Coventry, New York, in 1832 and studied art in New York, Dresden, and Munich. Waters is known for his landscapes, many of which he made during trips to the Adirondacks, the White Mountains, and other areas in New Hampshire. He is also known for his portraits, particularly those of Walt Whitman and Joseph Jefferson as “Rip Van Winkle.” He maintained a teaching job as director of the art department at Elmira College in Elmira, New York, from 1869 to 1903, with only brief intervals of travel in 1880 and 1886. He was able to paint in Europe thanks to the aid of wealthy patrons. Boating on Lake George likely depicts a hazy day on the famous Adirondack lake. While the scene cannot be positively identified, it shows all the characteristics of the section of the lake called the Narrows, where mountains rise up from the granite banks of the lake, and many small, densely forested islands appear. The disc of the sun glows through the haze, suffusing the sky with warmth and glowing in the lake below. Waters’ broad, smooth paint handling was suited to this light effect, and brings an appealing calm to the image, while the scale of the tiny figure rowing a boat in relation to the surrounding mountains suggests the power and majesty of the site. Waters was a member of the Salmagundi Club, Century Association, and the Amateur Art Association, New York. He exhibited his work at the National Academy of Design, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Boston Art Club, Black and White Exhibitions of the Salmagundi Sketch Club, and in Buffalo, New York; Kansas City, Missouri; Detroit, Michigan; and Denver, Colorado. His work is housed in the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland; and the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, New York.
