OSCAR EDMUND BERNINGHAUS (American 1874-1952)Storm Clouds over Taos Mountain 1947-48Oil on masonite14in. x 20in.Signed lower rightOriginal artist's label is attached to frameOne of the founding members of the Taos Society of Artists Oscar Berninghaus was renowned for his ability to render figures and animals in expansive Southwestern landscapes and was considered to be one of the foremost Indian painters in the country by his contemporaries. He developed an interest in art through the lithography business where he was employed in St. Louis and began to take courses at the city's School of Fine Arts. Berninghaus traveled through the Southwest producing drawings and illustrations for rail companies and Anheuser-Busch before permanently settling in Taos in 1925. His style is characterized by short quick brushstrokes that produce a unique texture and his paintings are known for their accuracy. Throughout his career Berninghaus was devoted to the Taos Art Colony because he believed in the uniquely American subject matter of the Southwest. His paintings reflect his genuine affection for the Pueblo Indians of Taos and their culture which Berninhaus was careful to respect and accurately represent on his canvases. This painting shows Pueblo Indians on horseback crossing the vast plains of Taos with Hondo Valley in the background. It is in excellent original condition with the artist's personal label attached to the frame a rare feature to survive.Provenance: By decent through the family of the artist to the present owner
OSCAR EDMUND BERNINGHAUS (American 1874-1952)Winter Evening (Taos) c. 1918Oil on canvas25in. x 30in.Signed lower right : O.E. BERNINGHAUSThis quiet painting of the horses huddled together outside the warm tavern on a cold snowy night shows Berninghaus' mastery of the western nocturne a genre first brought to prominence by Frederic Remington and continued by Berninghaus' contemporary Frank Tenney Johnson. While Remington utilized a greenish palatte and Johnson cast his scenes in blue tones Berninghaus may have created the perfect nighttime painting with contrasting warm and cool grays that lend to the sense of cold reality that the cowboys endured. This large-scale painting is a rare fine example in the artist's oeuvre of the nocturne genre in addition to being a superb example of Berninghaus' talent for rendering horses in the rural settings of New Mexico.This painting by one of the founders of the Taos Art Society occupies an important place in the artist's oeuvre. The painting comes directly from the Berninghaus family of Taos. There is a letter of authentication signed by the artist's granddaughter Barbara Brenner that accompanies the lot. The present work is being offered for public sale for the first time.Provenance: Berninghaus Family Taos NM; Fenn Galleries Santa Fe NMExhibited: Parsons Fine Art Taos NM (referred to as Moonlight Taos)
