| 706. Allen Tucker (American, 1866-1939), "Hotel on the Hill", c.1920; oil/canvas, 30" x 36", signed. Tucker was a painter
and architect, although he abandoned architectural work around 1904. He studied painting with John Twachtman at the
Art Students League. Tucker became a charter member of the Association of American Painters and Sculptors, the
group responsible for organizing the 1913 Armory Show in New York, which included five paintings by Tucker. His first
one-man show was held at the Whitney Studio Club (which later became the Whitney Museum) in 1918. Tucker's use of light
and color reveals his admiration of Van Gogh's paintings. His work is included in the collections of the Art Institute of
Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Museum, and the Albright-Knox. 8000-10,000 |
