Item Details

Description

Waldo Peirce (1884 - 1970) American
Oil on Canvas
Measure 8 1/4"in H x 5 1/2"in W and 14 1/4"in H x 11"in W with frame

Known for: Figure, children, landscape, still life
Name variants: Waldo Pierce
Biography: Waldo Peirce was known for his paintings of his children, a subject he depicted numerous times when he settled in Bangor, Maine with his third wife after years of travel in Europe where he led a fun-filled adventurous life. His style was loose and imperfect but full of the spirit of what he was painting, which in his early career was often landscapes. He was born the son of a wealthy lumberman in Bangor, Maine and studied at Harvard University where he was known much more for his personality and football playing skills than for his scholastic ability. In 1910, he decided to go to Europe, but after boarding the ship in Boston, changed his mind, jumped overboard and swam ashore. However, shortly after that, he left for England and then went to the Academie Julian in Paris, and lived partying life around Europe. He engaged in many pastimes including canoe racing on the Thames in England and football on a French team in Ireland. During World War I, he served as an ambulance driver and earned the Croix de Guerre for bravery. After the War, he toured in Spain with writer Ernest Hemingway and painted in the styles of Spanish artist Ignacio Zuloaga and French modernist Henri Matisse. In 1959, Waldo Peirce did a portrait of Hemingway during a reunion with him in Tucson. (According to the owner of the portrait, A Calicchio, the painting has been authenticated by credentialed experts.) Returning to Maine after World War II, Waldo Peirce finally settled into a painting style with which he was comfortable---the paintings of his growing family. Before his death in 1970, he completed hundreds of canvases of these subjects.
