Original Paul Rohland Oil on Canvas Painting

Item Details

An original oil on canvas painting by well listed artist Paul Hermann Rohland (1884 – 1953). Born into a tradition of artists, Rohland began his career at the age of fourteen as a production engraver. He was an early member of The Woodstock Artists Colony, and was featured in the 1913 Armory Show. ‘According to Woodstock records, by the early 20s the couple was living perhaps for little or nothing on ’The Maverick,’ a separate colony several miles away from Woodstock, founded in 1906 by Hervey White. The colony, started as a center of social thought and offering only Spartan living conditions, later became known for its bohemian atmosphere. Its masquerade festivals featured bootlegged liquor and were referred to as ‘bacchanalian routs.’ The Rohlands were well known for their participation in these festivals.’ This painting is a cityscape typical of Rohland’s oeuvre, simple and liberated in style, his subject here would appear to be southwestern, and is beautifully presented in a wooden frame with grey finish.
