New Hampshire Antique Co-op presents Snowbound: Winter Landscapes from the 19th c. to Present, an exhibit and sale of paintings capturing centuries of the rugged beauty of New England in the heart of winter.

This fine art exhibit and sale of paintings features works by noted nineteenth and twentieth century artists Paul Starrett Sample (1896-1974), Samuel S. Carr (1837-1908), William Closson (1848-1926), Gerrit Beneker (1882-1934), William Lester Stevens (1888-1969), George Ames Aldrich (1872-1941), Thomas Curtin (1899 -1977), Aldro Hibbard (1886-1972), Emile Albert Gruppe (1896-1978), Robert Emmett Owen (1878-1957), Walter Koeniger (1881-1943), Allen Dean Cochran (188-1971), Arthur Clifton Goodwin (1864-1929) and more. The exhibit also includes contemporary New England artists Erik Koeppel, William R. Davis and Dave Dodge.

Winter painting “en plein air” presents wonderful opportunities and unique challenges to artists. From brisk blue-sky days to blinding blizzards, the invigorating snow-covered scenery holds tremendous appeal for artists to capture nature’s beauty. 

For nineteenth century artists and contemporary artists, there are not only cold temperatures to contend with — which can mean frozen stiff fingers leading to limited dexterity — but there are also issues of paint and other art supplies freezing, paint not drying, and frozen brushes. Oil paints become less malleable, and we all know the saying “oil and water (snow in this case) don’t mix.” Contemporary artists can avail themselves to today’s high-tech cold weather gear to somewhat help brave the bitter temperatures. Nineteenth century artists would layer up in wool, fur and make-shift contraptions, such as “The Hibbard Mitten,” a term coined by Aldro Hibbard’s invention of wearing layered socks on his hands and poking his paintbrush through the wool.

Getting to the painting locations in the winter is also a challenge for en plein air artists. Weather conditions make driving to remote locations difficult, and often artists hike into nature to get to their favorite spots. For the artists of the 1800s, this would’ve been accomplished with horses, sleds, snowshoes or on foot, all while hauling their painting supplies as well as provisions with them. Artists would even catch rides with loggers going deep into the forest.

Understanding these hardships lends a greater appreciation for the fine examples of works on exhibit in Snowbound: Winter Landscapes from the 19th c. to Present. 

A wine and cheese opening reception was held on Sunday, November 10 in the Upstairs Gallery at New Hampshire Antique Co-op.

​Exhibition and sale on view November 10, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
