ALTEN (GERMAN-AMERICAN, 1871-1938) STILL-LIFE OF NASTURTIUMS, watercolor and pencil on paper, depicting a group of orange and yellow nasturtium flowers with leaves in a glass vase on a shaded grey ground, signed and dated in the lower right "M.

Catalogue Note: Born in Gusenburg, German, Mathias Joseph Alten immigrated to the United States in 1889 at age 17 with his family, setting in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most well-known for his landscapes and seascapes, he was also an accomplished painter of portraits, floral still-lifes, and animal subjects. His style is described as "second-generation Impressionist" by art-historian William H. Gerdts, and he is often referred to as the "dean of Michigan painters".
Starting his artistic journey in Germany, Alten began his formal education at the Academie Julian in Paris in 1899 and, then, later enrolling at the Academie Colarossi. Alten traveled extensively to Europe and in the States to pursue professional training and exhibit his artworks, though Grand Rapids remained his homebase throughout his life. During his almost 50-year career, Alten produced more than 3,000 works of art, exhibiting at major institutions including the National Academy in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC.Condition
