Spanierman Gallery is pleased to announce the opening on February 23, 2012 of the exhibition and sale, Watercolors by John Whorf, including works rendered from the 1920s through the 1950s. One of the most accomplished and esteemed watercolorists of the first half of the twentieth century, John Whorf (1903–1959) was called “perhaps the most brilliant water-colorist in America today,” in 1929. In 1938, he was the first contemporary painter to receive an honorary Master of Arts degree from Harvard University. Portraying scenes of outdoor life as well as urban, rural, and figural subjects, Whorf worked in a luminous painterly style often compared to that of John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer. The exhibition is accompanied by an online catalogue by Lisa N. Peters, Ph.D..
