      I’m just a passionate blogger and this is a non-profit-making blog.
      All I can do is to add Bantam Fine Arts to my blogroll links. That’s absolutely free of charge.

    Suzay,
    I am a British painter so I shall not leave my website but I Stumbled on your site and really enjoyed seeing such a vast array of American art. More than I ever saw when I was an art student in the sixties. Well done. I have bookmarked your site.
    Good luck

      Thank you for your kind words. I took a look at your website. It deserves time and attention. I particularly appreciated the weeds & rocks contrast in “Margate Harbour”. I can only wish you to keep on catching the soul of everything you’re looking at.
      Happy trails to you (and your stunning 1988 Harley too!)

    Excellent WP blog/site. Great job.

    A few quick questions, which I hope you can answer:

    1. Why? Special project? Art student? Artist?

    2. How? I see you put the photos/art up on Picasa. Are you paying for that service, or does Picasa have that much storage for free?

    3. How do you determine your inventory, list of artists? And how inclusive do you plan on making it?

    I ask these questions because of my own site projects.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Enjoyed your site.You have not discovered Indiana’s rich art history, no mention of T.C. Steele and many others that gave the country a beautiful view of the paintings of southern Indiana. Can you include him and others of the colony in your listing. I notice you do have Otis Adams. He was a part of the colony of artists.
    I would enjoy being a part of this great site. How do you apply?

I bought it and I recreated fast a website for her as I like her paintings. Her name is Sylvia Angeli, if you want please add the link and some paintings to your blog.

    Hello Suzay,
    You have a beautiful collection of art on your website! I can spend hours enjoyingyour website.
    I noticed you did not have an artist’s website page for Howard Terpning, and we have the closest thing you will find as our gallery has a long business relationship with the artist and his family and have artist proofs from the family collection available exclusively through our gallery. The link if you would like to us it is http://www.bnr-art.com/terpning.
    Also, have you considered including Pino (1939-2010) in your website? Pino, born Guiseppe D’angelico in Bari, Italy on November 8, 1939, became one of the foremost book cover illustrators (over 1600) in the United States before establishing a reputation as a fine-art figure and landscape painter. His original oil paintings are prized by collectors. We have some of his rare orignial paintings and also have information about him at. http://www.bnr-art.com/pino .
    If you would like to include our gallery as a resource, that would be great. The main address is http://www.bnr-art.com and it is B & R Gallery. We have been in business for over 30 years and have been fortunate to host art shows for great artists like the late Arnold Friberg, Howard Terpning, Morgan Weistling, and more.
    Best Regards,
    Joanne B & R Gallery

    Hi Suzay,
    Congratulations again: your regular updates are a great means to learn about new names in figurative American painting.
    My gallery American Art is in France now, but still exclusively focused on American figurative painting “that defines America” : see http://www.americanart.fr.
    I would appreciate it of course if you could feature it in your sidebar!
    Oh, one technicality that is easily solved: you forgot to change the text to the “About” section at the top of this page, which means that:
    – we don’t get to learn anything about you, when I know many of us would like to learn a bit about you,
    – the summary of this page (in FaceBook links for instance) reads “This is an example of a WordPress page…” Not very tempting!
    Very best wishes for 2012!

    Dear Ms Lamb

    Best regards. Your project continues to be ever so interesting. It is a great project and I am not sure there is really anyplace else where one can see such a great wealth of American artists in such detail and volume. Though there are many art museums and so forth, most are very sparing in what they make available online.

    I am an Ojibwe American Indian artist myself, I work in a variety of mediums including stone, but painting has always been and remains my central passion. While you have included many paintings about American Indians, or featuring them I should say, it does not seem you have ever actually included any American Indian artists in your collection. I do not take an exception to this however, as you are of course free to follow your interests in a way that satisfies you. I find the majority of paintings featuring American Indians are rather condescending to the Indians themselves…but artists throughout history have exploited their subjects for their artistic interests without giving any due or credit to who those people might be. I have older relatives on the reservations that posed for fifty cents, for example, for some famous painters and no one ever asked their names or wanted to know anything about them. Perhaps it is unimportant. In the end every work of art stands or not on its merits regardless of who the subject may have been. It is a working part of the shadow of art which lingers along with the lights revealed in the work itself.

    In any event, your project is very nice and I always enjoy visiting here and always discover new things. Thanks very much for your work. I have a gallery up featuring my work, featured in the link attached to my login.

    Per Suzay Lamb

    Io è da soli due mesi che sono collegato ad Internet, e per me è stata una piacevole casualità aver scoperto il tuo sito “American Gallery”. Ho iniziato a guardare con curiosità ed interesse l’archivio dei pittori americani che dal 2008 compaiono sul tuo Blog. Si tratta di una presentazione molto varia e vivace, che si guarda con piacere, e che offre un’ampia panoramica su tutta la Pittura americana, dagli artisti più conosciuti a quelli meno conosciuti o addirittura sconosciuti; da quelli dell’800 a quelli più giovani dei nostri tempi, mostrando una grande varietà di stili e correnti artistiche. Brava Suzay.

    Oggi è il mio compleanno (precisamente alle ore 23.00 del 4 aprile), ma essendo il tempo non molto bello (il cielo è nuvoloso), e non avendo voglia di uscire, ho preferito rilassarmi restandomene in casa a visionare il tuo bell’archivio dedicato dell’Arte Americana. Non puoi immaginare quanto mi piaccia!

    Una delle cose che più apprezzo del tuo Blog è la facile accessibilità e il completo disinteresse economico, essendo il Blog aperto e offerto a tutti, senza troppi complicati passaggi burocratici.

    Sapere che da tutto il mondo tantissime persone si collegano al tuo sito, o perché semplicemente incuriositi o perché voglio conoscere meglio l’Arte Americana, dovrebbe essere per te motivo di grande soddisfazione, che ti ripaga dell’enorme lavoro di promozione culturale che stai svolgendo.

    Ho letto anche la brutta vicenda della censura operata da Google contro il tuo Blog, ma come hai ben detto tu in un commento, il fatto di aver trasferito il tutto su un altro motore di ricerca si è rivelata cosa assai positiva, perché hai potuto migliorare ancora di più la tua American Gallery, offrendo immagini più ingrandite e più godibili. In Italia c’è un proverbio che dice: “Non tutto il male viene per nuocere”. Ed è vero!

    Infine, riterrei cosa molto utile se tu riproponessi i tuoi vecchi posts (2007-2008) con immagini un po’ più ingrandite. Ovviamente, essendo tu neo-mamma, il tempo libero che puoi avere a disposizione non sarà molto, però quando potrai, penso che sia una cosa da fare.

    Ringraziandoti della piacevole compagnia, culturalmente valida, che mi sta facendo il tuo Blog, ti saluto e ti auguro una Buona Pasqua. Vincenzo M.

      Suzay, lo scritto al paragrafo 3° è da correggere cosi: “…, o perchè semplicemente incuriositi o perchè vogliono …”.
      Ho scritto troppo in fretta e invece di scrivere per intero ‘vogliono’ l’ho scritto incompleto, e quindi la traduzione corretta dovrebbe essere all’incirca questa: “Know that from the way many people link to your site, or simply curious or because they want to learn more abaut American art, it should be for you a cause for great satisfaction thet repays you the enormous cultural promotion work you’re doing”.
      Forse non c’era bisogno di questa correzione, perchè tu conosci molto bene l’italiano, però la traduzione in inglese risultava un pò pasticciata. Ciao

      Trasferendomi su questa piattaforma ho sempre avuto in mente di riproporre i posts del primo biennio, con l’aggiunta di più dipinti per ogni artista e riproduzioni ingrandite. Considerato il tempo che posso dedicare al blog si tratterebbe di uno sforzo non indifferente. Prima o poi lo farò.

    L’altro ieri mi è capitato di trovare e leggere “Lettera a chi verrà”, quel dialogo intimo con la creatura che era in te, e ne sono rimasto sbalordito. L’ho letta e riletta più volte, ed essa rimane incredibilmente sempre nuova. Si tratta di un capolavoro di rara bellezza, un dipinto con colori freschi, pieno di vita e sentimento, dove la gioia zampilla insieme alla trepidante attesa del grande giorno. Suzay, penso che tu abbia fatto una vera opera d’arte.
    Secondo me possiedi un talento innato per la narrativa e la poesia. Non ho la pretesa di volerti dare consigli, perché solo tu puoi sapere quello che potresti fare e quello che farai, però sarebbe un peccato se tu smettessi di scrivere. Oltre a mantenere in essere American Gallery che è una delle tue creazioni più indovinate, dovresti (quando ti sarà possibile) riprendere a scrivere (anche se non necessariamente sui Blog) e magari fare anche un pensierino a pubblicare dei libri.

    Suzay, abbi pazienza per la confusione che sto facendo con il nome, e per il tempo che ti sto facendo perdere. Mi sembrava una buona idea utilizzare un altro nome al posto del mio, ma ciò mi sta creando un po’ di disagio psicologico, perché non ci sono abituato ad associare la mia persona ad un altro nome. Penso che sia meglio tenermi Vincenzo (omettendo solo il cognome), altrimenti non riesco a prendere sonno. Scusami per la mia indecisione, ma ti prometto che non cambierò più. Grazie.

    I liked your response to the comment of a post of the month of June 2011, concerning the request for more biographical information on artists. I agree with you on that, more than words and explanations, count the emotions that art can provoke all those who admire it.
    In my opinion, are more than enough of the personal data given (names of artists and their dates of birth), which already give a precise idea of the historical period in which they lived and worked. If anyone is particularly interested in learning more biographical knowledge, he can always make personalized search. But American Gallery is beautiful as it currently exists, because, in my opinion, is very lively and unpredictable, and above all let those who see the wide freedom of movement and judgment.

    Yes, I agree. It is always a surprise when I open an artist’s file . Some pieces move me greatly, some not so greatly but there is always a surprise.I find it inspiring to see and react to these posts. Thank you, Suzi.

    Suzay, if you think I comment too much and the thing can disturb, tell me sincerely, so will limit my comments.
    I like art, but some years I was a bit away from it. And the discovery of your blog has had the good effect of me being born again, the interest for art.

    It ‘true that there are other blogs on art, but I like yours, because, besides being beautiful and dynamic, it makes me feel more at ease.

    Maybe I should write more in Italian and English, to limit the errors of translation. Hello.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to put this extraordinary site together. Absolutely brilliant. Years ago I studied under Mal Cumins. I live in Australia now. Don’t even know if he’s still painting but if he is, he’s very good. Perhaps worth consideration for your extraordinary gathering of artists.

      You can only use a painting that is in the public domain (copyright term expires 70 years from artist’s death). Otherwise all paintings copyrights belong to the artist and you should ask him/her for permission. In any case, always remember to quote the artist’s name.

    Suzay –

    I’ve been looking at American Gallery for several years. I love what you’ve done, of course, but I have a couple of questions. First, in the Archives section, what is the number in parentheses? It isn’t the number of artists that month, or the total number of artworks. Second, why are so many of the images no bigger than thumbnails? Higher resolution images are usually available on the internet? Perhaps you can give me an answer.

    Cheers,

    G

      The number in parentheses refers to the number of artists posted that month.
      The images posted from October 2007 to March 2009 are very small indeed but, little by little, I’m trying to re-publish those artistic profiles in a more complete way and with higher resolution images.
      Higher resolution images could certainly be posted but I also have to take into account that the available space is not unlimited.

    Hello, your site is a most pleasant diversion and very instructive about the stark contrasts between the foci of late 20th/21st century artists and those of any earlier period. Am having, I assume, a common problem locating one of the displayed paintings. Saw it recently but neglected to jot down the artist’s name. It’s a bit daunting to scroll all listed painters and their works without a cross indexing. Perhaps the name is readily available through your personal special computer (gray matter). Am looking for the artist who painted Nat “King” Cole, apparently done from a photograph of the great singer and pianist at the keyboard, in color and wearing a three piece suit. Thank you.

    You have impeccable taste and a discerning eye. Please consider adding an artist who has fallen off the radar-most of his works are at Yale. Most famous for Mayflower Compact. Gorgeous sketches online at Yale. Subjects-military and wonderful in situ portraits of women in their salons, little boys with fishing gear and my fave a heart wrenching ptg of an older, tired black man reclining in front of his fireplace( a rarity indeed). Edwin White (born, South Hadley, Massachusetts May 21, 1817; died Saratoga Springs, New York June 7, 1877) was an American painter who studied in Paris,Düsseldorf, Rome, and Florence and later taught at the National Academy of Design, in New York. Just to FYI-he is a cousin on my grampa’s side!!if you need examples, I have a smattering of jpegs.

    One suggestion – it would be so much more instructive to both beginner artists like me and experienced artists if you posted the images so they can be magnified when clicked. I have a wordpress blog, so I know it is possible.

    Click any image here and see if you don’t agree.

    http://tomdonovanart.wordpress.com/

    I upload images to the Media Library and when I make a post, I click “Add Media” and select the image from the library. The image allows magnification when clicked.

If Suzay was a pseudonym, that was fine – you are entitled to your privacy – but why reveal it as such now? It kind of makes me feel a bit dumb to have been addressing you as “Suzay” these past few years. And is “Lexi” yet another pseudonym?

    Hi and thank you for these beautiful websites of yours!

    As a graduate art history student currently working on French painter Félix Régamey (and the years he spent working in the U.S.), I noticed you posted a reproduction of his portrait by William Morris Hunt back in 2014 (I know this was a long time ago, sorry).

    It was part of this post on your 19th-century gallery: https://americangallery19th.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/william-morris-hunt-1824-1879-2/.

    However, I have been unable to find more information about this work of art, which would be quite useful to my research. Do you know more about this painting, its dimensions, its date, or its current location maybe?

    Besides, I don’t think there is any catalogue raisonné of Hunt’s works yet, much to my dismay…

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

There is mention in the family history that the Barringtons of Philadelphia were acquainted with Bass Otis and Rembrandt Peale at that time in Philadelphia. There is noted on the back who the painting is of and the date painted 1817 as well as that it was painted in Philadelphia. There also may be a signature by the artist which could be Bass Otis but it isn’t real clear. I can supply a photo of the painting as well as a photo of what is on the back.
