Eugene H. Thomason (1895 - 1972) Oil on artist board, signed lower right "Eugene Thomason", titled "In the Still of the Night" and written on verso "Camp Jackson, World War One", piece measures 9 x 12 inches and 14 x 17 inches. Piece comes from a Charleston, South Carolina Estate. Born in Blacksburg, South Carolina, but raised in a number of southern communities, chiefly Charlotte, North Carolina, Eugene Thomason began drawing and painting at an early age. After completing his primary education at Major Bard's private school for young men, he expressed the desire to move to New York to study art. His father, manager of the Piedmont and Northern Railroad, encouraged him to instead "do something practical" and enrolled him in the nearby Davidson College. A year later, in 1917, Thomason left school and joined the Navy.
