Alphaeus Cole
American, 1876-1988
Flower Picking, 1920
Signed Alphaeus P. Cole and dated 1920 (lr)
Oil on canvas
30 x 24 inches (76.2 x 61 cm)
Trained in Paris at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts under distinguished instructors, including Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin-Constant, Cole developed a disciplined technique rooted in the European academic tradition. His work of the 1920s reflects this classical training, with an emphasis on traditional portraiture and still-life compositions. Working through a period of profound artistic, social, and political change in New York and the world at large, Cole continued to paint and exhibit well into his later years, sustaining an active artistic practice until the age of 103. He died in 1988, aged 112.
