Antonio Cirino (1888-1983). Oil on board. SLL. Artist label verso. Provenance: from the artist estate. Framed. Cirino loved his home in Rockport, Mass, a summer retreat from the urban setting of Providence where he taught at RISD and painted in his East Providence studio. It is not surprising that his Rockport paintings and images are highly desired & collected by connoisseurs who find them the most genuine and inspired of his works. As Rockport gained notoriety as a creative haven, artists flocked to the town to capture its' authentic New England imagery. The old fishing shack at the end of the pier in Rockport Harbor was painted so many times by artists that is was simply called "Motif #1" by insiders. Cirino's depiction captures the true feel of this active fishing port in his time. Cirino, a founding member of the Rockport Art Association, has become one of the most collectable artists of his era for this subject matter along with Gruppe & Thieme.
