unnamed, Clute, 16" x 20", oil on artists board
This painting was purchased at
an auction in Allentown, PA. There were at least three
listed artists named Clute who were active in New York
City, which is not far away. One died in 1914, long
before this painting was created. This painting
probably dates from the 1940s. There may have been
other artists with the same surname, so it is by no
means certain that one of the two remaining artists
created this painting. The bridge in the painting, if
it is based on an existing bridge, may be a clue as to
the identity of the artist. I suspect that the bridge
is in either New York or Pennsylvania. I would
appreciate hearing from anyone who recognizes it.
