| 613. Alexander J. Drysdale (American, 1870-1934), “Louisiana Spring Scene with Water Hyacinths (St. Martinsville)”. c.1922; oil wash/paper, 20" x 30", signed, titled; on verso is written a long and interesting anecdote by original owner concerning Evangeline of Longfellow’s poem. Well known Louisiana painter of the bayou. Drysdale exhibited from the 1880s-1920s, and specialized in local scenes executed in this medium, which he developed by diluting oil paint with kerosene, and applying it with brushes and cottonballs. His work is in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana State Museum, Delgado Museum, and the Supreme Court Bldg., Louisiana. This is a particularly bright and colorful execution of a familiar subject, making it very desirable. 3000-5000 | |||||||||
