Graphic Masters is the title of an online exhibition at the the American Art Museum site (part of the Smithsonian Institute). Here are three works that especially appealed to me --
Excelsior Geyser, Yellowstone Park, 1873, by Thomas Moran (watercolor, pencil)
November First, 1950, by Andrew Wyeth (watercolor) August Breakfast, Maine, 1997, by Carolyn Brady (watercolor)
And here is another that I like very much --
Ezekiel Saw the Wheel, c. 1943, William H. Johnson (tempera, pen and ink, pencil)
and that I have selected especially because it somehow reminds me of that very special contemporary American artist, Girl from the North Country.
Thank you for the link. I like that painting very much, too. I was not familiar with the work of William H. Johnson but definitely have been influenced by his contemporaries, Jacob Lawrence and Horace Pippin. I am grateful to hear that something of their art spirit comes through to you in my paintings and drawings.
