The Collection
Edward Willis Redfield (1869-1965)
|
 |
Edward Willis Redfield is one of the most important
artists in all of American art history, and is the foremost representative
of the Pennsylvania School of Impressionism. Woodmere Art Museum is
blessed with a remarkable example of Redfield’s painting with Late
Afternoon (Delaware River). The painting was purchased directly
from the artist in 1959 and was part of a one-man retrospective held at
the museum during the same year. It is one of Redfield’s classic panoramic winter scenes, showing a vista from Mike Mullins Hill across the
Delaware River to New Jersey, at Center Bridge, Pennsylvania, where
Redfield had settled in 1898. Late Afternoon remains one of the
most popular works in Woodmere’s permanent collection. |
