GIFFORD REYNOLDS BEAL

Gifford Beal 1879

American Arts, Jackman

Independent

Born N.Y.

Fond of painting landscapes, freight yards, beautiful gardens and marines

Graduated from Princeton

Continued his art studies under Chase and Du Mond

His friendship for Ranger was helpful

Painted with a stroke sure and virile, like Homer

"Color rises to its full potency when an understanding of form is its support."

In Beal's latest pictures line seems to carry color with it

Beal is expected to do even bigger things

"An art which is so vital and alive as his will surely go farther."
