Canvas: 25 x 30 Inches

Magnificent Birch oil on canvas painting ready to hang on your wall with crisp fall colors and a seasonal feeling that brings you outside to Nature. The quality of this painting is on Gruppe’s higher end and is felt as you gave through the woods culminating not only in to the vibrant green pines, but into the sky. The new frame is a beautiful marriage and could not be better. I have owned over 25 Birch paintings by Gruppe and this is my favorite. Almost want to keep it for myself.
Gruppe made his permanent studio in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and became a member of the Cape Ann school of artists.
Although Gruppé is best known for his variety of impressionistic landscapes, he also painted figures and portraits. His modern style was largely inherited from the French Impressionist Monet. “Lily Pads”, date and location unknown, one of Gruppe’s landscapes, attests to Monet’s influence; it is similar to some of the paintings in Monet’s Water Lilies series.
From 1940–1970, he ran the Gloucester School of Painting at Rocky Neck, on Smith Cove in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He was the teacher of other famous artists including oil painter Otis Cook of Rockport, Massachusetts, and his work was an influence on Bill Wray, Nathalie Nordstrand, Carl W. Illig, and other painters. He sometimes wintered in Naples, Florida, where he painted tropical scenes. He also wrote books for artists on brushwork, color and technique.
He was a member of the Salmagundi Club; the North Shore Art Association (1929-1978); the Rockport Art Association; the Gloucester Society of Artists; the Allied Artists of America; the Longboat Key Art Association; the Sarasota Art Association, amongst others.
