Item Description

Vintage 1957 Ben Solowey Beautiful Landscape Original Oil Painting

This beautiful piece of art by Ben Solowey showcases a person relaxing in a field, with a dog beside them. In the background, a structure resembling a tower or spire is visible on the horizon. This is so skillfully painted with nice texture and gorgeous color combination. Signed by artist lower left hand corner.

Solowey was born in Warsaw, Poland on August 29, 1900. In 1907, his family moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, then, when he was fourteen, to Philadelphia. There he studied under Hugh H. Breckenridge and Daniel Garber at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, from which he graduated in 1923. In 1924, he took a job as ship's steward on the SS Leviathan so that he could go to London and Paris to see both old masters and more recent masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. He was influenced by French artists from Delacroix and Courbet to the impressionists and more modern painters such as Cézanne, as well as the sculptor Auguste Rodin.
In 1925, Solowey returned to Philadelphia, where he worked as a decorative painter. He moved to New York in 1928, where he was commissioned by The New York Times and the Herald Tribune to capture the likenesses of Broadway and Hollywood celebrities. Of these, he sketched Ethel Barrymore, Fanny Brice, Claudette Colbert, Katharine Cornell, Marlene Dietrich, Helen Hayes, Katharine Hepburn, Walter Huston, George S. Kaufman, Mary Nash, Lily Pons, and Basil Rathbone.
In 1930, after a brief courtship, he married Rae Landis, who became his primary model. In 1942, the couple moved to a secluded farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.[1]: 5 There, Solowey would spend the rest of his days, restoring the ancient farmhouse and painting.
His studio in Bedminster Township, Pennsylvania is maintained as a museum.
