DESCRIPTION
From a newly discovered portfolio of various unframed works by Wilson Irvine. This one is charcoal landscape of a hilly meadow. Signed lower right with the artist’s “WI” monogram. Paper is watermarked "L. BERVILLE (FRANCE)."

NOTE: I posted a shot of the portfolio cover. However, it is NOT included in this lot, and is only here for illustration. It will be included with the last lot of unsigned Irvine works from the same portfolio.

From AskArt.com comes this biography of Irvine:

Wilson Irvine is best known for his landscapes usually of rolling hills, open meadows and old stone walls. He loved nature and found poetry in all that he saw before him. It was not formal gardens and cultivated land that fascinated him but the way light filtered through trees, the way a country wall was composed and the rhythm and sway of hills, knolls and valleys. Irvine is considered one of the masters of American Impressionist landscape painting. He was born in Illinois and as a young man moved to Chicago where he developed his interest in art. It was during this early period that he began depicting rural landscapes. It wasn't until Irvine married, traveled to Europe and then returned to settle in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Irvine was a very experimental painter who was always trying to find new ways to interpret what he saw before him. At one point, he developed a technique that he termed "prismatic". It was based upon the same idea as looking through a glass prism, or the refraction of light.
