The Red House, Rindge, NH (c.1932-35)

Oil on canvas, 27 x 30 inches, signed lower left. Signed and titled verso. In an original frame. Provenance: Macbeth Gallery, NY. * Pleissner’s early career successes were primarily in oils, including Backyards, Brooklyn (1932) which was purchased by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Hearn Fund) in 1933. “This is the thing that is so interesting in New England, the change of the seasons. I really prefer to paint in the later part of fall and in the early spring when everything isn’t all the same color green.” The Red House, Rindge, NH, is a rare early work which beautifully captures this fleeting moment of seasonal change, as well as the universal bond between man and nature.
