Description
Dawson Dawson-Watson
France/Qu?bec/Missouri/Texas, (1864-1939)
Red Canyon
oil on canvas
signed lower right, gilt-framed.
Born in London into a family of artists, Dawson Dawson-Watson formally trained trained in Paris and later became part of artist communities in Europe and America in: Giverny, Boston, Qu?bec, St. Louis (1904-14) and San Antonio (1914-1939). He raised his children in San Antonio and found fortune there by winning painting awards that rendered him prestige and financial success. This stunning, intimately-sized canvas represents the earthen-toned (yet strikingly colourful) pastel canyon landscape that is iconic of the American West. The title, Red Canyon, could refer to Red Canyon within Dixie National Forest (Utah) or a number of other red-coloured canyons located across Texas or Arizona. Whichever ?Red? canyon Dawson-Watson chose to observe, he did so using generous amounts of oil paint to create, probably en plein air, this striking wintry scene featuring snow-capped stratified cliffs and ravines, worn away over millions of years from Jurassic times onward by an unseen and equally ancient river below.
