Walter Elmer Schofield: Proud Painter of Modest Lands March 19 - April 18, 1993 |
Trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, W. Elmer Schofield worked both in Pennsylvania and in Cornwall, England, during the first half of this century. Schofield's early Tonalist landscape paintings reflect an interest in the muted colors, misty, ethereal light, and soft-focused images. His brighter impressionist palette, adopted after 1903, prevailed throughout the remainder of his life emphasizing light greens and cobalt blues. In recent years, Schofield's work has been reconsidered for its prominence in the American landscape tradition. On loan from the Philip and Muriel Museum of Art at Ursinus College, the exhibition has toured college and regional art galleries over the past four years accompanied by a scholarly catalogue by Valerie Livingston, Director of the Lore Degenstein Gallery. Other paintings in the exhibition are on loan from private collection and from the originator of the show, the Payne Gallery of Moravian College.
