Georg Arnold Grabone (German, 1896-1982) oil on canvas German Impressionist seascape painting depicting two ships coming into a harbor at twilight, rendered in the artist's characteristic thick textured strokes, applied with a palette knife. Signed lower left and housed in a silvered, Rococo style carved frame. Sight: 22 1/2"H x 30 1/2"W. Frame: 31"H x 38"W.
Biography: German Impressionist painter Georg Arnold-Grabone was the son of regional president Wilhelm von Arnold. He studied at the Munich Art Academy and later under Max Liebermann. He was seriously injured fighting in World War I and left temporarily unable to hear or speak. After his discharge, he continued his art studies and in 1928 awarded a gold medal in Vienna for his oil painting: Hardanger Fjord. In 1932 he moved to Zurich to teach at an art academy. He later became an art instructor to U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was stationed in Garmisch as the commander of occupied Europe, and to Winston Churchill (to whom he was introduced by Eisenhower). One of Arnold-Grabone's paintings hung in the White House, and several others were brought home to the U.S. by American troops.
Scattered craquelure, including on boats and in center sky area. Small area of paint cleavage noted to upper left, sky area. Scattered spotting, possibly dampstaining, visible en verso of canvas. Some wear and scattered small spots/stains to frame.
