Description
Woodwell, Joseph Ryan (American/Western PA, 1843-1911), Magnolia, oil on canvas, 10.5 x 14 inches, signed lower left J.R. Woodwell, framed in a gilded wood frame measuring 16 x 19.5 inches, Provenance: The Estate of Charles H. Booth Jr., New Kensington, PA. Woodwell was active in Pittsburgh's art community. The artist's involvement with the Carnegie Internationals resulted in a portrait of Woodwell by Eakins in 1904. Woodwell also exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1861-1910), at the National Academy of Design (1879 and 1880), and at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Four views of Magnolia, Massachusetts (all unlocated) were on display at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 and three landscapes appeared at the St. Louis Universal Exposition in 1904. Woodwell was appointed by Andrew Carnegie to acquire works for the Carnegie Museum of Art with the Carnegie Art Fund. Mrs. Woodwell donated her husband's Sand Dunes (1909) to that museum.
