About Frank R. Whiteside
Frank Reed Whiteside (1866-1929) studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz, then in Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. He taught art in Philadelphia high schools, and spent his summers painting and traveling. The Whiteside family had a home in Ogunquit, Maine, a thriving artist colony. In addition, Whiteside toured the Southwest and California. He recorded many aspects of Zuni Indian life, while in New Mexico between 1890 and 1920, and he became known as a painter of the American West.
Whiteside’s Pacific Coast Morning has the expansive quality of California landscape painting, a special feeling of brightness and clear air, and the typical blue and purple shadows associated with American impressionism. Small juxtaposed strokes of a fully loaded brush provide a scintillating effect on the surface of the canvas; yet Whiteside reveals a restraint that seems to be typical of his work from this period. |
