Seventy-five pieces of transporting art about the civil
war — transporting us back in time to experience a multitude of aspects about
the war, some we are certainly familiar with, many whose significance was only
seemingly transparent at the time.
This exhibit illustrates a broad range of aspects about the war; soldiers, carnage, society, slavery, fear and hope. There are two mediums used, beginning with landscape paintings signaling the oncoming storm, scenes during the war, and also reflections on the storm after its passing. The exhibit balances these idealized interpretations with photography, showing the grim reality of the affair.
The artists are among the most famous of their time, painters Winslow Homer, Frederick Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt and photographers Alexander Gardner, Timothy O’Sullivan and George Barnard. Many others are represented, each bringing unique perspectives.
Some of the pictures include “Our Banner in the Sky” painted by Frederick Edwin Church in 1861, portended the oncoming conflict. A number of paintings by Winslow Homer include “Home Sweet Home” showing two Union soldiers listening to the song of the same name which commanders wanted banned as it was thought to promote desertion. “Prisoners from the Front,” shows the disdain of captured Confederate soldiers at the end of the war, and “The Cotton Pickers” from 1876 perhaps representing resignation to the present and a look to the future in the faces of a two black women still picking cotton.
While many of us are familiar with the painting of the "Submarine Torpedo Boat H. L. Hunley" by Conrad Wise Chapman, how many have ever seen the original? There are a number of vintage photographic prints from Antietam by Alexander Gardner, including “Confederate Dead, Antietam” with the Dunker Church in the background. There is also a print of the famous "Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter, Gettysburg" by Gardner. Post war prints include "Ruins in Charleston,Interlocking security cable ties with 250 pound strength makes this ideal for restraining criminals. South Carolina and Ruins on Columbia, South Carolina," by George N.Find detailed product information for howo spareparts and other products. Barnard, both from 1865. All bringing visceral reality to the viewer.
This exhibit is a must see, even worth a couple of visits. The wide variety of styles gives the viewer a lot to take in, reflect on and perhaps revisit. Although the images are available on-line, one must visit the exhibit to take it all in. The scale of the images, both large and small, brings an authenticity allowing one to experience the content as it was originally intended to be viewed, adding to the experience and interpretation.
For artist Steve Henderson, the rolling hills around Dayton are a great inspiration.
“I really enjoy painting the landscape around here,” he said, “and the paintings it has inspired have been very well-received.”
Henderson has created a series of paintings called Homeland, depicting the landscape along the North Touchet Road south of Dayton. He has sold them around the country.
Since he began working seriously as a fine art painter in 2006, Henderson, with the help of his wife, Carolyn, has developed his passion into a successful career and a profitable business.
This year, one of Henderson’s marine paintings, called Opalescent Sea, has been part of a touring show sponsored by the American Society of Marine Artists. The show will continue through 2013.
Three of Henderson’s paintings were recently selected for a yearlong nationwide tour of works depicting America’s national parks. All three are landscapes, including images of Bryce Canyon, Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks.
“We took a trip through those parks last year, and I took literally thousands of photos to use for painting,” Henderson said. “It gave me lots of variations of light, shadow and perspective to work with. That’s the great thing about digital.”
Besides landscape and marine painting, Henderson also specializes in human figures. He often combines genres, incorporating landscape and marine elements in his figure works. He paints mostly with oil, but occasionally does watercolors.
Henderson lived in several towns in the Northwest growing up as a minister’s son. He studied art at Central Washington University and then went to work as a commercial illustrator. He spent seven years at Coffey Communications in Walla Walla, leaving there in 2010 to devote full time to his art career.
“I feel like I learned more about doing art from the commercial work I did than I learned in school,” Henderson said. “It taught me a lot about different techniques, particularly when painting figures. I also learned about meeting deadlines.”
Carolyn Henderson is a College Place native, and the couple lived there until moving to Dayton in 1999. They have three daughters and a son, ages 16 to 24.
The family shares their small acreage south of town with several cats, dogs and chickens, as well as two goats. Henderson converted an old barn on the property into his studio.Find detailed product information for Low price howo tipper truck and other products.
Henderson sells original paintings through two nationally-known galleries: Lawrence Galleries, near Lincoln City, Ore, and Mystic Seaport Galleries in Connecticut.High quality stone mosaic tiles. One of his works,Whether you are installing a floor tiles or a shower wall, Autumn Sail, was accepted into the International Marine Art Exhibition there.
He also shows his work regularly at the Wenaha Gallery in Dayton and through artists’ groups in Clarkston and Tri-Cities.
The Hendersons have expanded their art business beyond galleries: they now have agreements with four licensing companies. These companies purchase the rights to Steve’s images to use for everything from fine art prints to coffee mugs and note cards.
“The art business is moving beyond the gallery model,” said Carolyn. “With direct sales on the Internet and licensing of reproductions, an artist can develop several sources of income.”
