A pastel drawing on paper by listed American artist Stanley Bielecky (American, 1903-1985). The work depicts a vibrant landscape comprised of lush trees surrounded by foliage rendered with saturated pigments. This piece is unsigned and presented unframed.
Stanley Bielecky was born in 1903, near Berlin, Germany and came to the United States when he was three settling in East Chicago, Indiana with his family. He received some training in the 1930s at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Chicago Art Institute as well. After working as a commercial artist for some time, Bielecky became a fine arts instructor at Valparaiso University in 1941. He first visited Mackinac Island in the 1930s and in the summer of 1941, he was co-founder and director of the Mackinac Island Summer School of Art. From the late 1940s into the 1970s he painted thousands of watercolor and oil paintings of Mackinac. This regionalism style approach often categorizes Bielecky as an “American Scene Painter,” with a nod to Thomas Hart Benton.
