About the Item
Barclay Rubincam (1920-1978). October Fog, 1966. Oil on canvas, 20 x 40 inches; 23.5 x 43.5 inches framed. Signed and dated lower right. Original label affixed verso. Excellent condition. original frame.
Barclay Rubincam (1920-1978) was born and grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he developed a life-long love for its charming landscape and fascinating history. Art was an early passion, and Rubincam spent hours drawing and painting murals, posters, and other decorations and projects during his school years.
After graduating from Unionville High School in 1939, he attended the Wilmington Academy of Fine Arts (today the Delaware Art Museum) where he was taught by Gale Hoskins and Frank Schoonover, among others. He also studied with N.C. Wyeth in Chadds Ford.
Army service during World War II delayed the start of Rubincam's professional career as a painter, but when he returned from duty, he set up a studio in his newly purchased house in West Chester. In 1946 he married long-time sweetheart Caroline Hannum. The couple had four children: Andre, Reginald, Ghisele, and Christopher.
Rubincam became successful at his chosen career, selling enough paintings to support himself and his family. The paintings were exhibited and offered
for sale in local museums, art associations, banks, and other stores in and
around West Chester and Wilmington.
Most of his non-portrait artwork was not commissioned, but was an expression of Rubincam's personal interests; one of these was local history. A favorite subject was the Battle of Brandywine; Rubincam completed many paintings and maps focusing on this topic, including "Hessians Marching Past the Barns-Brinton House at the Battle of Brandywine". Credit for the historical accuracy and detail that Rubincam was known for must go to his wife Caroline, who served as his research assistant.
Rubincam died of cancer in 1978. Today his paintings are valued for their
richness of subject and for their preservation of Chester County's history
and beauty.

Artist made raw wood frame American countryside, American West, manifest destiny, Rocky Mountains, painting of the American West, painting of the Western countryside, the great outdoors, landscape painting About the artist: A visit to Mark Beard’s studio is like discovering Michelangelo’s lair: oil paintings layer the walls, lifedrawings litter the table at the feet of heroic bronzes; ceramics, architectural maquettes are everywhere; virtuosity, in every medium. And then it gets even more interesting. Mark’s talent is so overflowing that, years ago, he needed to channel himself into alter egos. Mark invented the persona of “Bruce Sargeant,” an imagined English artist, contemporary of E. M. Forster, Rupert Brooke, and John Sloan. Mark also created Bruce Sargeant’s teacher, Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon, a 19th-century French Academist. Michallon also taught Edith Thayer Cromwell...Category
