- Provenance
Provenance: Leanin’ Tree Museum of Western Art, Boulder, CO Scottsdale Art Auction, Scottsdale, AZ, 2018 Private collection, Oregon
Literature: The Story of Leanin’ Tree: Art Enterprise in the American West, Don Hedgepeth and Ed Trumble, Leanin’ Tree Inc, Boulder, CO, 2008: p. 223 The White Cloud is one of Delano’s popular canyon scenes. It is a quintessential example of the artist’s more modern-leaning paintings, which show both a figure and those giant forms that converge on a single fulcrum represented by the horse and rider. Prior to its closing in 2017, the Leanin’ Tree Museum of Western Art was the home to The White Cloud. The painting was the first Delano acquisition for the museum by its founder Ed Trumble. “Sometime in the late 1950s, determined to meet Colorado’s most famous artist, I made an appointment to see him in his studio. He quickly put me at ease with his courtesy and warmth. According to my notes from the visit, he talked mostly about himself and his paintings, which were hanging all over the walls of his studio,” Ed Trumble writes in The Story of Leanin’ Tree: Art Enterprise in the American West. “…Despite our vast age difference, Jerry and I enjoyed a warm friendship. In later years he would often call me and invite me to his studio, where he sat and painted while entertaining me with tales about his youth. Delano told me of his time at the Art Students League of New York, where he studied under such greats as N.C. Wyeth and Harvey Dunn. He often invited me to his apartment to visit with him and his wife, Blanche, who invariably served us cherry pie and coffee. On one such visit in 1967, I saw The White Cloud and in response to my humble inquiry he offered it at a price I could not begin to afford. Blanche calmly interrupted her husband to say, ‘Jerry dear, why don’t you sell it to him at a really good price?’ With a smile, he said, ‘Well, Ed, can you afford $450?’ Of course, I jumped at it, and The White Cloud became my first Delano acquisition.”
