Impressionist Oil Painting by Listed Artist Frank Myers Boggs
About the Item
Frank Myers Boggs is a well known Impressionist painter who is currently exhibited in many museums, such at the Metroploitan Museum of Art in New York. This is a wonderful example of his nautical paintings; dreamy and foggy. Beautiful gilded frame. Signed lower left.
By the late 1880s, Boggs was acquainted with the Impressionists Claude Monet (1840–1926), Alfred Sisley (1839–1899), Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), and Eugène Boudin (1824–1898), but his affinity for marine subjects, his use of a somber tonal palette, and restrained impressionist technique better reflect his admiration for the Dutch marine painter Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819–1891), whom he met in Paris at this time. In 1888, on the death of his parents, he returned to New York. He exhibited the following year at the Universal Exposition in Paris and then in 1890 made a trip to Algiers, which precipitated a number of sketches and paintings of Arab themes.
Throughout the next decade Boggs traveled extensively in Europe and frequently visited family in America. He exhibited at the Salon, at most of the international expositions, and in major cities at home and abroad. By 1903 he settled more into Parisian life and two years later moved into an elegant house on the rue de Biraque. He worked extensively in watercolors, many of which depicted architectural subjects, and in 1921 had his first exhibition of etchings. His health failed in 1923, and he died peacefully three years later in Meudon, southwest of Paris. Boggs was awarded the French Legion of Honor posthumously.

Frank Myers Boggs
Frank Boggs was a master of cloudy skies in landscape paintings, but was more strongly attracted to the soft light of misty mornings and rainy afternoons than the brilliant sunlight of his Impressionist peers. Contemporary American critics tended to view Boggs as an Impressionist, especially when he exhibited in New York early in his career. But although his brush became loose and free and his palette lightened as he matured, the artist never completely adopted Impressionistic methods. He was known and appreciated for delicate and subtle harmonies of blue, gray and green. In this respect, his style has sometimes been compared to the Tonalism of James McNeill Whistler. Boggs was born in Springfield, Ohio, on December 6, 1855. While still young, he was brought to New York City where his father was a newspaper executive. At age seventeen he took his first job, as a wood engraver at "Harpers" magazine. At age twenty-one, he decided to go to Paris to study stage design, having received encouragement from a French designer whom he had met. Finding, however, no one in Paris to instruct him in his newly chosen profession, he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he studied painting under Jean-Léon Gérome. In 1923 Boggs became a French citizen. Three years later, preparations were underway to award him the Legion of Honor. When informed of this coveted recognition by his adopted country, he expressed great delight. Sadly, Frank Meyer Boggs died, however, the day before the award was made public on August 8, 1926.
