• LEVI WELLS PRENTICE, AMERICAN
  LEVI WELLS PRENTICE, AMERICAN (1851-1935), BASKET OF APPLES, 1891, OIL ON CANVAS, 20 X 16 INCHESLEVI WELLS PRENTICE, American, (1851-1935) Basket of Apples, 1891, oil on canvas signed and dated in the center "L.W. Prentice / 1891" oil on canvas Dimensions: 20 x 16 inches Provenance: Private Collection Framed Dimensions: 31 1/2 x 27 1/2 x 3 inches Levi Wells Prentice was raised on a farm in Lewis County, New York. He moved to Syracuse in 1870 and later spent four years in Buffalo. Prentice was self-taught, first painting the Adirondack Mountain landscape around him. From the start, he painted in a distinctive delineated style withvibrant colors. Art historians now refer to this as "hard-edged realism."[1] In 1883, Prentice moved to Brooklyn where there was already a community of still-life artists. His meticulous style was well suited to still-lifes, and his depictions of apples, plums, peaches and raspberries are among his best-known works. Prentice combined the influence of contemporary painting trends, the attention to detail of the American Pre-Raphaelites and the playful deceit of the trompe l'oeil artists. The outcome was distinctive and still-lifes by Prentice can be readily identified by their characteristic color and clarity. Art historian William Gerdts says of Prentice's still lifes, "A characteristic peculiar to Prentice is a rustic unpretentiousness. His fruit is brilliantly colored but often pitted with spots or holes… Even his most elaborate container, the tin pail, is a mundane kitchen object…Indeed, Prentice's work is the most photographic of all the late nineteenth century fruit painters."[2] In the present lot, Basket of Apples, the apples are extremely realistic. Their abundance on the ground and the full basket indicating the season for picking. Prentice depicts every blade of grass and all of the woodgrain in the basket and fence in extreme detail. Still life paintings by Prentice are included in numerous public and private collections including the New York State Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Montclair Art Museum, the Philbrook Museum of Art, and Yale University Art Gallery.
