C.1930's Alfred Richard Mitchell Oil Painting of Acacia Seed Pods and Leaves
We are offering a rare C. 20th century oil painting
by Historic San Diego painter Alfred Richard Mitchell of Acacia seed pods and leaves.
The painting is canvas laid on board. The beautiful orange and purple seed pods with
the seafoam green Acacia leaves are contrasted by the brown background.
The painting is signed in blue on the bottom right corner
and framed in a modern Stickley period style frame.
Mitchell did mostly landscape paintings,
making this one of the few still life pieces he had done.
Written on the back in pencil:
"Acacia Pods Alfred R. Mitchell #478 13 X 16 1/8" Alfred Richard Mitchell (1888 - 1972)
Alfred Mitchell, born in York, Pennsylvania, became a painter of
Impressionism and Post-Impressionism
who settled in San Diego in 1908. His plein-air paintings provide
an historical record of the growth of San
Diego in the early 20th century.
Mitchell , who, as a teenager, went West to Nevada during the Gold Rush
where he prospected for gold and drove a coach. Then he went to Southern California, and in 1913, began training at the San Diego Academy of Art, founded by Maurice Braun, who regarded Mitchell as one of his most important pupils.
He returned to his native state and study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Enrolling there in 1916.
He studied with Joseph Pearson, and New Hope Impressionists
Daniel Garber and Edward Redfield.
With these influences, his style turned his 'feminine' Impressionism
toward the Pennsylvania
school's stronger brush work and strong color
as well as clear light and strong outlines.
Because of its strong color and emotional undertones,
much of Mitchell's art is categorized more as Post-Impressionistic.
Mitchell continually
painted outdoors, "en plein air", within a radius of San Diego,
and often included buildings in his paintings,
thus creating a valuable record of the development of the area.
