In painting these canvases, I felt again the vastness of endless skies, experienced again the penetrating cold of Nebraska winters, lived again as farmers live …in spirit, I am very much a farmer," Dale Nichols. Dale Nichols was born in rural David City, Nebraska in 1904. His early life had a profound influence on his paintings which centered on recreations of farm life. As a child, he worked on his family farm and walked to school. At the time, the search for a defined American Art was growing and the public was interested in scenes of American life. American collectors in the 1930s looked to buy Rural Regionalist art to capture the disappearing idyllic agricultural lifestyle. Nichols emerged as an artist when Regionalism and Rural Regionalism were growing as a collecting genre. His paintings are classified as a succession from Regionalist masters Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry. Nichols studied in Chicago at the Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute with Carl Wentz. He became a successful illustrator, watercolorist, designer, writer, lecturer, block-printer and painter. In the 1930s and 40s he created artwork for direct-mail industrial advertising. From 1942-1948 he succeeded Grant Wood as art editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Aside from his commercial success, around 1933, Nichols set out to become a painter. He found ample inspiration from his childhood and repeatedly painted scenes of farm life and barns. As an artist, he was well recognized and enjoyed critical acclaim. In 1934, his painting End of the Hunt received an award from the Art Institute of Chicago and in 1939 it was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1939 where it still hangs today. The taste for Regionalism waned in the subsequent decade and Nichols moved to Arizona in 1940. He briefly started an art school and then moved to various locations throughout the United States including living on a small yacht. In 1960, he moved to Guatemala for some time. He painted his surroundings but continued to paint barn scenes even after he left Nebraska. Many of these are indistinguishable from his earlier paintings. A reexamination of Regionalist art in recent decades has fortunately renewed interest in Nichols' paintings. In 2012, the Bone Creek Museum of Art organized a traveling retrospective exhibition, Dale Nichols: Transcending Regionalism. This exhibition cemented Nichols as the fourth American Regionalist alongside Wood, Benton and Curry. Nichols' work has been avidly collected in numerous public and private collections throughout the country as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

- GORDON STEELE MODERNIST WINTER LANDSCAPE
GORDON STEELE MODERNIST WINTER LANDSCAPE PAINTING New York,1906-1961Titled "The First Snow" depicting a wire fence entangled with vines and small black birds perched and flying about with freshly fallen snow on the ground. As an artist Gordon Steele had a prolific career in Upstate New York and New England that most do not know of. His early career consisted of training through the W.P.A. and exhibitions with the Springfield Art League, Smith Museum, and Wadsworth Athenaeum before getting involved with the Federal Art Project in 1936. From that point Steele worked intermittently as an artist until settling in Syracuse in 1945 after taking a job as the Art Director for John Flack Studios. In Syracuse Steele became heavily involved in the arts evolving his technique and career winning a total of forty-seven accolades and awards. He had exhibited at the Terry Art Institute of Miami, the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio, the Corcoran Gallery of Washington, the Columbia Biennial in South Carolina, the Audubon, and National Academy amongst other shows. Alongside his exploding art career in 1957 Gordon became a teacher in the School of Art at Syracuse University before landing his first solo show in New York City with Harry Salpeter (1895-1967) and Salpeter Gallery in 1958. The following year Steele was featured in the December, 1959 issue of American Artist highlighting his career with noted praise for rising without fighting Madison Ave crowds. Today Gordon Steele's artwork is held in the permanent collections of Syracuse University, Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute, Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, Everson Museum of Fine Arts, and Butler Institute of American Art among others.
