Bernard Corey Landscape Oil

This is a signed oil on canvas on board, by Bernard Corey. I purchased many painting directly from Bernard and sold them in my art gallery's in the 1990s- 2000s. After selling many of them at that time, these are what are left from my collection. They all are in new condition, being stored away in an archival box. I'm going to offer them up for sale, so look for my listings as I will continue to offer them up. Although many of Bernard's oils were painted on canvas mounted to Masonite, this is painted on canvas on plywood board. He experimented with different types of boards to paint on over the years and at that time I consulted with him about his processes. This would look really nice in a frame. Bernard Corey is one of New England's most beloved landscape painters of the 20th century. He executed paintings surely en plein aire with accuracy and competence. Memberships included the Rockport Art Association, Salmagundi Club, the Guild of Boston Artists, North Shore Art Association and more. Having won over 100 awards and honors, including awards at the North Shore Art Association, Rockport Art Association, Salmagundi Club, NYC, Hudson Valley Art Association, Providence Water Color Club, Allied Artists of America and many more. He painted almost every day of his life with fellow artists in the fields, along the streams and beaches and in the mountains in and around New England. Bernard Corey was the "last of the old school" of traditional New England landscape painters. When he died early in 2000, the era when artists painted for ten hours a day, every day with competency came to an end. Corey's carefully painted impressionistic plein aire canvases captured the essence of nature in all four seasons.
