SAFA/11229 Charles Francis Browne (American,1859-1920)
Clearing Fog Signed and dated: 1915
Ptg: 20"x 28" Born in Natick, Massachusetts, Charles Francis Browne was primarily active in Illinois as a landscape painter and teacher, and was one of the original members of the Eagle's Nest Art Colony in Oregon, Illinois. He was married to the sister of sculptor Lorado Taft. Browne played an active role in California in 1915 when he was the superintendent of the United States section of the Panama Pacific Exposition where he won an award for painting. He had traveled West previous to that time when, in the summer of 1895, he and sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil and writer Hamlin Garland took a tour of Indian reservation in Arizona and New Mexico. Their stops included the Navajo Reservation, the Hopis at Walpi and Zuni villages, and this trip provided Browne with much material for subsequent paintings. In 1910, Browne was Assistant Art Commissioner in South America to Buenos Aires and Santiago. He received his art training at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston from 1882-84 and from Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In Paris, from 1887-90, he studied with Jean Leon Gerome at the Academie Julian. He became an instructor at the Art Institute of Chicago and shared a studio with George Schreiber. He was founder and editor of "Brush and Pencil" Club, president of the Chicago Society of Artists, and a member and director of the Western Society of Artists. At the Eagle's Nest Art Colony in Oregon, Illinois in the summer of 1919, he was stricken with paralysis. He died the following March at his mother's home in Waltham, Massachusetts. Sources:

Max Weyl (American, 1837-1914)
Springtime in Rock Creek NE Oil-on-canvas, signedand dated 1902 lower right and titled and signed on the reverse
Ptg.: 18.5" x 24" Max Weyl was born Dec. 1, 1837, in Germany and immigrated with his family to Williamsport, PA in 1853. At this time and after his arrival in Washington, DC in 1861, Weyl earned his living as an itinerant watch repairman. At the relatively young age of 24, he had saved enough money to open his own jewelry shop at Third Street and Pennsylvania Avenue . He was self-taught as an artist but was encouraged in the field by Washington artist Charles Lanman, who recognized his potential artistic talent. In 1870, Weyl sold his first painting to Samuel H. Kauffman, publisher of the Star . Kauffman became a regular patron of Weyl. By 1878, he had achieved sufficient success to list himself as an artist in the city directory and had devoted himself full-time to his art. A year abroad in 1879-80, visiting and studying in Paris, Vienna, Munich and Venice attached him to the Barbizon style and gave him his nickname of the "American Daubigny". His first exhibition and sale of landscapes was in 1879. Eventually, his landscapes of the Potomac River and Rock Creek Park won him much recognition and acclaim. During the years of 1882-92, he shared a studio with Richard Norris Brooke in Vernon Row at 10th and Pennsylvania, moving to the "Barbizon Studio" building, on 17th and Pennsylvania, from 1892-1903. Weyl had annual exhibitions and sales at V.G. Fischer Galleries. There was a retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1907. Weyl died July 6, 1914, in Washington, DC. Today his work can be seen in such varied locations of the Corcoran Gallery, the Cosmos Club in Washington, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Virginia Military Academy. Sources:

(American, 1876-1966 )
Moods Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left corner “Lichtenauer 1904.” Painting: 28” x 40” Frame: Born in New York City, Joseph Mortimer Lichtenauer studied at the Art Students League with Mowbray before moving to Paris where he entered the Académie Julian. There he studied under Merson and Laurens. Additional years of travel and study in Florence, Italy no doubt influenced his tastes, evidenced by this idyllic painting of classicized female figures romping in a sunny field. The image is reminiscent of the fanciful landscapes of Romantic painter, Puvis de Chevannes. A muralist as well, Lichtenauer painted the ceiling of the Shubert Theater in New York City and created murals for the Adelphi Theater. His work has been collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution. Lichtenauer was also a member of the Salmagundi Club and the American Federation of the Arts. Lichtenauer is listed inWho Was Who in American Art (Falk, 1999) and the Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs (Bénézit, 1998) Portrait of a Woman Wearing a Painted Miniature Brooch

Painting: 20 ¼” x 16 ½” James Francis O’Brien (American, 1917-1996)
Bethesda Oriental Restaurant Oil on canvas, signed, located, inscribed and dated: “1983” on the reverse.
Painting size: 24” x 20” ** Please Note - This painting came directly from the Estate of Mr. O’Brien. For other examples, type “O’Brien” into the search box. ** For other paintings by artists from Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC or North Carolina, click on the “Regional Artists” button on our Homepage. Born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, O’Brien exhibited a love of drawing and painting from a very early age. As a high school student, he took all possible elective courses in art and technical drawing. He supplemented this study with evening courses at M.I.T. Following his move to Washington, DC as a young man, he enrolled in the Washington Workshop of the Arts. WWA, like the Art Students League in New York City, was a school in which all the classes were taught by a rotating roster of professional artists. During WW II, his technical artistic training served his country well when he was put to work as a map maker. In the final year of the war, O’Brien married. On his honeymoon in New York City, he found time to paint the rooftop view from his hotel room window. This initiated a lifelong pursuit of city painting (his family was inclined to call it an obsession). Starting with the founding of Federal Graphics, a commercial art firm he launched with a partner in 1947, he pursued a commercial career for the majority of his life. However, he always considered painting his “real” work, and his dedication to this vocation was apparent in a myriad of ways. He helped to found the Montgomery County Art Association and held memberships in the Arts Council of Montgomery County and American Art League. Throughout his life, he exhibited widely, both as an individual and in group shows. The Arts Club of Washington, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Montgomery College, and the Rehoboth Art League were a few among the many venues at which his works were shown. In addition, he exhibited in several private galleries. Benson Bond Moore
