Regular price $1,200.00Fragile specialty item — ships via calculated UPS rate at checkout; not eligible for free shipping.
A rare original oil landscape by Lenore Ethel Williams Benolken (1896–1943), an accomplished American painter, educator, and important figure in the early 20th-century Omaha arts community.
Richly painted with expressive, dimensional brushwork, the scene captures blue-green water beyond a rocky shoreline, surrounded by evergreens and warm autumn foliage. The beautiful surface texture is especially striking in person, while the aged gilt wood frame gives the piece the collected character we love in original vintage art.
Benolken's artistic history makes this piece particularly special. In 1937, she became the first woman to receive a solo exhibition at the Joslyn Memorial (now Joslyn Art Museum). She also represented Nebraska in All-American exhibitions at Rockefeller Center in New York. Following her death in 1943, Joslyn honored her with a memorial exhibition featuring 33 of her paintings.
