Works
A New England transcendentalist steeped in the landscape of his home ground, J. Frank Currier spent most of his career working in Germany, where he settled after studying in Munich. In Europe, Currier picked up a slashing energized brushwork—found in Old Masters like Frans Hals and Diego Velázquez—that would revolutionize American art. Although his landscape work in oils was dynamic, it was in Currier’s pastels and watercolors that he pushed into the realms of pure subjective expression.
