- Lot Description
John Modesitt (American, b. 1955). "Path Along the Burgundy Canal in Summer" oil on canvas, 2012. Signed on lower left. John Modesitt's "Path Along the Burgundy Canal in Summer" presents the artist's painterly view of an artist holding his easel, canvas, and palette while walking along the Canal de Bourgogne which connects the River Yonne at Migennes with the River Saone at Saint-Jean-de-Losne. According to Modesitt, the artist simply preferred to walk along the canal rather than paint that particular summer day. Quaint cottages , lush grasses, and tall trees with golden leaves flank the canal beneath a picturesque sky of cornflower blue hues and billowing white clouds. Modesitt captured the scene with his adept loose brushwork that conjures a sense of spontaneity and softly conveys the forms, an emphasis on light effects, and an embrace of vibrant color. In his words, "It’s the line and patterns that I like. Almost abstract at its core. And, of course, the serenity of the scene itself. I always picnic along the canals." Size: 16" L x 20" W (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm)
John Modesitt has been inspired by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists since childhood. He studied art under Robert Frame, enjoyed painting en plein air, and eventually painted in France. Also studying the works of Pissarro, Monet, and Sisley in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, John painted almost exclusively in the same manner as the French Impressionists during his early twenties. Then, at age 33, Southern California became his muse and he joined the California Impressionists. John also painted views of New Mexico, painting en plein air at Canyon de Chelly and Taos. Eventually, John decided to visit France every summer and autumn to paint more obscure areas that artists do not typically visit. When he is not in France, he lives in Colorado where he continues to be inspired by his natural surroundings. Modesitt's work has had strong representation in prominent art galleries, and his paintings have been auctioned by Christie's and other esteemed auction houses.
