Eunice Pinney
American Folk Artist, 1770-1849
She was a self-taught artist who, from about 1809 to 1826, devoted part of her time to producing a wide range of subjects in watercolour: landscape, genre, historical, biblical, allegorical and literary. Her distinctive style is solid and robust, with a strong sense of contrast and design. Problems in creating realistic form are apparent: faces are largely expressionless, and figures are stocky and two-dimensional. However, these difficulties are compensated for by fresh vigorous colour, bold pattern, artful composition and varied subject-matter. Pinney displayed the primitive artist's tendency to borrow and model from the best sources at hand: The Cotter's Saturday Night Related Paintings of Eunice Pinney :. | St. Helena sdgdf | The palm as an emblem of Chastity | Battle of the Nile | Pears and grapes | Landschaft bei Cagnes | Related Artists: Stefano PieriItalian , Florentine artist , (1542-1629) Mikhail KlodtSt. Petersburg,a descendant of an art dynasty1832-1902 Master of the Vienna Lamentationpainted Left wing of an altarpiece with the Circumcision and the Virgin of an Annunciation in c. 1515-1525
