Signed Ken Gore Oil on Canvas Painting . Titled on Verso "Riders on the Bridge".

Ken ( Kenneth Leon) Gore was born in 1911 in Illinois. He studied at the Meinzinger Art School in Detroit. He was an important member of the Rockport/Gloucester art colony in Massachusetts, as well as the Brown County art colony in Indiana.

Gore moved to Gloucester in the 1950's, and ultimately became the President of the prestigious North Shore Art Association there. He was a teacher and participated in many art workshops in the Cape Ann area. He was also a member of the Rockport Art Association.

He was best know for his shore and landscape scenes done in the Cape Ann area. His unique technique often involved a heavy impasto with the paint applied with a palette knife, giving his paintings almost a 3 dimensional quality. He died in 1990.

The information above was submitted to ASKART in April of 2006 by Robert Savage, a private collector of his work.
