ARTHUR HOEBER (AMERICAN, 1854-1915)
ARTHUR HOEBER (AMERICAN, 1854-1915) "THE MEADOW AT SUNSET, 1893" Oil on canvas. Signed 'Arthur Hoeber 1893' (lower right). Period giltwood frame.
Catalogue Note: Arthur Hoeber, a prolific writer, illustrator and landscape painter, was born in New York City. From boyhood, he displayed a particular talent for drawing and sketching, and continually practiced in water colors. One of his pictures was accepted by the American Water Color Society when he was only fourteen years old. Hoeber studied in the night schools of Cooper Union and then entered the Art Students League, where he studied under James Carroll Beckwith.
In 1881, Hoeber set off for Europe with letters of introduction from the noted actor Lew Wallack to his brother-in-law Sir John Everett Millais. Millais recommended that Hoeber study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Jean-Leon Gerome and then with Gustave Courtois. During his six years there he became an active member of the colony of American artists in residence. Like them he summered in Normandy and Concarneau, Brittany. He made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1883, and showed again two years later.
Upon his return to the states Hoeber was a regular exhibitor at the National Academy of Design (he later became an Associate Member), received a prize at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901. He held memberships in the Salmagundi Club, the Players and Lotos Clubs. He spent numerous summers on Cape Cod and Long Island where he showed a particular interest in sunsets and marshlands.
The turn of the century saw Hoeber settled in Nutley, New Jersey. He became the most prominent landscapist of a growing community of artists there. During this period Hoeber wrote rather prolifically on the arts and was the art critic for the New York Times. He made regular contributions to the New York Globe, Harper's Weekly and various other leading monthly magazines as well.

THE O'BRIEN CHAMBERS WOOD
THE O'BRIEN CHAMBERS WOOD DUCKThomas Chambers (1860-1948)
Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada, c. 1900
15 in. long
“There are few, if any, areas in North America which provide such accessible hunting for such a large number and variety of ducks and geese. Furthermore, no area of such relatively small size contains such a wide range of waters on which to hunt. These factors have contributed to the rich and remarkable Heritage of decoys produced by the decoy makers of Michigan and the St. Clair Flats.
“The ideal nature of this area for hunting did not escape the attention of the market gunners or sportsmen, and the decoy makers responded by the middle of the 19th century to give folk art collectors some of the earliest and finest examples of wildfowl decoys.”
— Donal C. O’Brien Jr., "Waterfowl Decoys of Michigan and the Lake St. Clair Region", 1983
Thomas Chambers (1860-1948) was born in Toronto, Ontario. He hunted ducks and geese as a boy and sold his excess quarry to the market. He was tapped by sportsmen, including George Warin (1830-1905), to be the Keeper at the newly founded St. Anne’s Club on the Chenal Ecarte, which flows into Lake St. Clair. In 1900, when the nearby St. Clair Flats Shooting Company was looking for a new Keeper, they asked Warin, a respected founder and a former president of their club. Warin recommended Chambers, which would be fortuitous for all parties.
Incorporated in 1874, the St. Clair Flats Shooting Company, also known as the Canada Club, was one of the oldest hunting clubs on Lake St. Clair. Chambers lived on the club’s property in an adjacent house with his wife and three children. Chambers would remain the club’s Keeper until his retirement in 1943. According to author Bernard Crandell, it was during this time as manager that the 6 foot, 1 inch Chambers earned the nickname “King Tom.” Over the years, the membership of the Canada Club gradually changed from all Canadians to predominantly Americans.
In addition to his work for the club, Chambers was also one of the nation’s most accomplished carvers. His decoys were in high demand from the members and even during the Depression a rig of a dozen Chambers decoys would command the unheard-of price of $75.
Many, including Canadian decoy scholar Paul Brisco, consider this carving to be the finest Canadian decoy known. Co-authors Clune Walsh Jr. and Lowell Jackson, as well as Paul Johnsgard, chose this exact decoy for the cover of their respective books, Waterfowl Decoys of Michigan and the Lake St. Clair Region and The Bird Decoy: An American Art Form.
Few decoys have evoked the acclaim of this wood duck. It is among the greatest carvings of this species from any region, alongside peak examples by A. Elmer Crowell (1862-1952), Charles E. “Shang” Wheeler (1872-1949), Joseph W. Lincoln (1859-1938), the unknown maker who carved two drakes for the Tyzzer rig, and the Mason Decoy Factory (1896-1924).
One of only two Chambers wood ducks known to exist, this example, with its exceptional form, paint, and condition, is the better of the two. Chambers captured the likeness of species of the summer duck effectively, paying special attention to the subtle nuances of the duck’s bill, eyes, and crest. Well over one hundred years old, the decoy maintains nearly invisible neck and bottom board seams, a testament to Chambers’ crafts- manship. The bottom board was fashioned from a food- packing crate and is thus branded on the underside “GUARANTEED BY H.J. HEINZ.”
The bottom board is also branded “GEO. M. HENDRIE.” George M. Hendrie was a St. Clair Flats Shooting Company member from 1889 to 1943.
This iconic bird held a special place in O’Brien’s collection,residing in his den alongside his dovetailed Canada goose.
Outstanding original paint with minor gunning wear, working putty to a sliver under the bill, and minimal touch-up under tail.
