George Edward Candee
American
(1837-1907)
|
Born in New Haven, CT. Prolific landscape and still-life painter. Painted in the style of realism mixed with tonalism and luminism. 1865-1870, while traveling throughout Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut, he would sketch the landscape. Upon his return, he referred to the sketches as he painted in oils and watercolors in his studio in New Haven. |
| His family business was Candee Rubber Company. His father discouraged George from becoming an artist. However, his uncle, James English, who was Governor of Connecticut, sent him to Rome to study at Umbrian School. 1870-1871, George Inness was his roommate. He traveled the Italian countryside and since he was being funded, he painted what he wanted. After his return to America, he painted in New Haven, Long Island, New Hampshire, Martha's Vineyard, and Lake George. Known as the "artist who refused to part with his works" by New Haven Register newspaper. He did not permit the sale of his work during his lifetime. Upon his death, the collection was given to his niece, Mrs. Anna Candee Burton. She sold only a few paintings and the rest remain in the estate. In the collection of: Mattatuck Museum, CT. |
