This auction features works by progressive artists from Rhode Island School of Design such as ceramicist Constance Leslie and African American printmaker Joseph Norman. Yale modernist Walter Feldman, who studied under Josef Albers and De Kooning along with women modernists such as RISD trained Florence Leif are included. Folk painter & beloved Providence artist Maxwell Mays has three works in the auction. Works by the ever-popular Rockport artist Antonio Cirino along with a harbor scene of Cape Ann by B.J. Howard and a large Edmund Darch Lewis work are in this auction. The core of artists in the auction are from the Providence School. Providence boasts a deep cultural heritage that is uncommon in a modest-sized American city. Its deep artistic roots were established in 1878 with the foundation of a leading art school, Rhode Island School of Design, and an independent art club, The Providence Art Club in 1880, third oldest club in America. It was the first art club in the US to have women members & one of its founders was the legendary black American artist Edward Bannister. Works by members of the Providence School include George Whitaker, S.R. Burleigh, George Hays and F. Usher DeVoll.
