- Lot Description
Josephine Paddock (American, 1885-1964). Watercolor on heavy gauge paper, ca. 1910. Signed "J. Paddock" on the lower left. A lively New York City street scene by Barnard-educated artist Josephine Paddock who studied under impressive artists at the Art Student's League, including the legendary Robert Henri (1865-1929). Henri was the leader and heart of the Ashcan School, a group of artists with journalism backgrounds known for rejecting idealized imagery upheld by academic art and Impressionism, and opting to depict compositions that leaned more toward the gritty realities of the world rather than flawless "pretty" imagery. Henri aimed for art that was, in his words, "as real as mud, as the clods of horseshit and snow that froze on Broadway in winter." While arguably less radical than her teacher, Paddock's painting does capture the excitement of this crowded city street set between abutting tall buildings with the Flatiron Building at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. Paddock even includes a bit of urban grittiness, as plumes of smoke rise in the distance. Size: 19" L x 14" W (48.3 cm x 35.6 cm)
Josephine Paddock earned a B.A. at Barnard College and studied at the Art Students League with legendary artists including Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase, Kenyon Cox, and John Alexander. Paddock exhibited at the legendary Armory Show of 1913, showing three watercolors: "Swans on the Grass" (1910), "Swan Study-Peace" (1910), and "Swan Study-Aspiration" (1910). Paddock was a member of the American Watercolor Society, the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, the North Shore Art Association (Gloucester, MA), the Grand Central Art Gallery (New York City), and the American Artist Professional League. Most impressively, The Josephine Paddock Fellowship -an award named for her - is the highest graduate studies award in the arts at Barnard College, Columbia University. Paddock's sister Ethel Louise Paddock also studied with Robert Henri, and both sisters exhibited art in Henri's Exhibition of Independent Artists in 1910, a show that served as a prototype for the Armory Show of 1913.
