Artist: Harvey Whitney Kidder (American, 1918-2001). Title: Fall Landscape, Connecticut, 1972. Watercolor on paper. Signed and dated, lower right. Dimensions: 26" x 36". Framed under glass: 32" x 43". Harvey Whitney Kidder was an American illustrator and painter whose accomplished watercolors often focused on the landscape. His work combines careful observation with the freedom and spontaneity of the watercolor medium.In this 1972 Connecticut landscape, Kidder captures the countryside at the height of the changing season. Brilliant bands of golden marsh grass stretch across the composition, set against cool blue-green woods and reflected in the still water below. Tall, spare evergreens punctuate the misty background, giving the scene a distinctly New England character.Particularly appealing is Kidder’s contrast between the loosely washed distant landscape and the sharper, almost calligraphic handling of the trees and grasses. The result is an atmospheric and confident watercolor that conveys the color and quietness of a late autumn day in Connecticut.
