- "CAMPBELL'S YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
"CAMPBELL'S YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK GUIDE" 1913For your consideration is this 1913 "Campbell's Yellowstone National Park Guide", by Reau Campbell, H.E. Klamer publisher Chicago. This is a scarcely seen guide for Yellowstone that includes many illustrations, maps, and photos. The book is complete and comes with the original fold out map still attached inside the back cover. Early twentieth century travel guide to Yellowstone for the prospective tourist that contains much detailed information, and is illustrated throughout with black and white views. Many interesting views of the park and its attractions and also views of stagecoaches, hotels, camping sites, Billie Hofer's boats, Old Faithful Inn, and much more. "Perhaps the word 'Descriptive' in the caption of this book is a misnomer, for who shall describe the wonders of a geyser like Old Faithful, or paint the beauties of the Grand Canon? Talmage with all the eloquence of his soul acknowledged the hopelessness of the task, and Moran put down his brush in despair. This Guide book is the easier task, and of more importance. What I have written here is after the experiences of more than a score of journeys through the Park, journeys not of the five-day sort, but with leisurely travel and long stops that I might see some of the greater glories that are not on the beaten track. And I have not been disappointed." -page.5 of the text. Campbell was noted for writing travel guides of Mexico, Florida, Cuba and Yellowstone National Park during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Original fold out map attached to the inside back cover. This Yellowstone guide is in good overall condition, illustrated cover exhibits scuffing. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and foxing. No other obvious marring noted. Measures 5.5"W x 7"L

(River Exe, Exmouth, England) oil on canvas Dimensions: 40 x 50 inches Provenance: Clayton-Liberatore Gallery, Bridgehampton, New York; Spanierman Gallery, New York, New York; Private Collection, Connecticut Framed dimensions: 48 x 57 x 4 inches Hayley Lever…is one of the freshest and most vigorous painters who are still allied with the Academy. He does not depend upon stale academic recipes but prefers to see and paint things in his own way…his work shows an invigoratingly personal point of view. —Arts, 1929 At the turn of the nineteenth century, the ancient Cornish fishing town of St. Ives, England, was home to a thriving artists' colony that lured both European as well as American artists to paint along the shores and piers. Richard Hayley Lever was a frequent visitor to St. Ives and painted ‘when the tide was out and when it was in, at all hours; sunrise, midday, sunset, and moonlight.'1 Lever was originally from Adelaide, Australia, and began his artistic training there at the Prince Alfred College. Upon graduation, he attended James Ashton's Academy of the Arts, also in Adelaide, where he was encouraged to paint out-of- doors. Around 1894, Lever moved to England, settling and painting in London, and by 1899 he moved to St. Ives to study with the British marine painters Julius Olsson and Algernon Talmage, strong proponents of painting en plein air. After a trip to the continent in 1908, Lever was introduced to the works of Vincent van Gogh, and his style took on a more vivid color palette and bolder brushwork with an emphasis on line and two-dimensional form. He was profoundly influenced by the works of Van Gogh and in homage, he created a series of paintings called Van Gogh's Hospital, Holland. In the current example, Sunshine in the Hills, Van Gogh's influence is apparent throughout the hillside and rippling water. Lever immigrated to the United States in 1912, and settled in New York City, where he had a prosperous painting career. He painted a number of scenes of Manhattan and later opened a studio in Gloucester, Massachusetts that he maintained for many years. From 1919 to 1931 he taught at the Art Students League in New York City and exhibited his work throughout the United States. Lever was a member of the National Academy of Design, National Arts Club, New Society of Artists, Royal British Artists, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the Royal West of England Academy. His works are displayed in art institutions throughout the country, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Detroit Institute of Arts, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 1 Carol Lowrey, Hayley Lever 1876-1958 (New York: Spanierman Gallery, 2003), 13 Tags: oil painting, listed artist, 20th century, St. Ives, Cornwall, England, Impressionist / Impressionism, boats, seascape / coastal / marine Condition: Glue lined, small repaired tear in the center, overpaint can be greatly reduced, other very minor scattered areas of restoration, recommend cleaning.
