EDWARD LANGE 1846-1912 American FOLK ART Painting Long Island NY Signed 1880
Rare EDWARD LANGE American Folk Art Drawing/Painting Long Island NY Artist Signed Dated 1880 plus book “Edward Lange’s Long Island”. Signed and dated lower right. Watercolor and gouache on paper. We took the piece out of the frame to examine it and found that the paper is watermarked with the name “Whatman 1878″. The edges of the paper have very slight foxing. 5 1/4″ x 11 3/4″. It is framed in an Eastlake frame that has some wear. Overall size is 8 1/4″ x 14 3/4″. The scene is of several buildings, a train, horse and buggies and people walking. One building has a sign that reads “Store” and to the right of that is a horse drawn omnibus with North Port written on the side. Also, on the bottom A. Smith is written in block letters. It somewhat resembles the Saint James depot. It is probably on what is now called the Port Jefferson line of the Long Island Railroad where Lange is known to have painted a number of stations. Quality examples of Lange’s work rarely come to the market. In addition to the painting, there is the softcover book entitled “Edward Lange’s Long Island”. 67 pages, bibliography, notes , illustrations with 76 color and b&w reproductions of the artist’s paintings and drawings. Edward Lange (1846- 1912) was born in Germany and emigrated to New York with his family sometime in the 1860’s. By 1870 Lange and his wife, Susan Denton of Brooklyn, were living in Elwood, Long Island. He was probably self taught but influenced by artists and prints produced by them during the 1860’s and 1870’s including James Bard, Jurgen Fredrick Huge, Currier and Ives, George Durrie and Louis Prang. He can be credited with recording the landscape and townscape of Long Island before its period of tremendous growth in the 1880’s. His attention to detail gives insight into the architecture, daily life, business activities and agriculture of rural Long Island. His watercolors and drawings capture both the bucolic and nostalgic character of Long Island on the cusp of change and the coming of the iron horse which stimulated business and tourism.
