SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: JAMES PROUDFOOT, SAMUEL JOHN LAMORNA BIRCH, ROCKWELL KENT.

Sunlight on a building (1937), by the Scottish artist James Proudfoot.



Morning Sun, by Samuel Birch.



Monhegan Island, by Rockwell Kent.



All three paintings courtesy of Richard Morris, art historian and art journalist. His knowledge about precious late 19th Century/early 20th Century paintings which have thus far escaped attention of the broader public - and even many people rather knowledgeable in art - is encyclopedic.
