749. Ralph Albert Blakelock attribution (1847-1919), "Autumn Landscape", c. 1910; oil/canvas, 6.5" x 9.5", signed. Blakelock’s later work was focused on mood and imagination rather than natural representation. His soft tonalist landscapes were an extreme departure from accepted academic fashion, and he encountered great difficulty selling them. He fell into extreme poverty, his behavior became questionable, and he was institutionalized in 1899. Ironically, although he remained poor and incarcerated, his works began to command high prices by the 1910s, and Blakelock was named a Academician by the National Academy of Design. 800-1200
