Description

Still Life with Corn. Artist: Charles Ethan Porter (1847-1923). Dimensions: 10 1/2 x 17 in. (26.7 x 43.2 cm). Date: ca. 1880.
Porter painted fewer watercolors than oils, and this striking drawing--with its distinctive uncontained cornucopia of autumnal flowers, fruit, and vegetables--looks back to the earlier influence of the American Pre-Raphaelites and their Ruskinian "fidelity to nature" philosophy.
Its acquisition further strengthens and expands the American Wing's holdings of work by nineteenth-century African American artists. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
