Daniel Garber Oil Painting Reproductions

Daniel Garber an American Impressionist Artist

Daniel Garber is renowned for his charming landscape paintings, making him a significant figure in the world of American Impressionist paintings.

Born on April 11th, 1880, Garber was interested in art at a young age. His formal training started at the Art Academy in Cincinnati, where he studied under another American artist, Frank Duveneck. Duveneck's association with Orientalism paintings and the Realism art movement is particularly known for his portrait paintings.

However, studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia shaped his artistic career. Here, Daniel Garber became familiar with the great French Impressionist painters Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. The profound impact of these artists influenced Garber’s use of color and light, which, combined with his love for the American Landscape, culminated in a unique painting style that seamlessly blends European Impressions with American subject matter.

The Rise of the American Impressionist Art Movement

Daniel Garber’s career gained momentum in the early 1900’s. The American Impressionism art movement emerged in response to the French Impressionism art movement, marking a significant shift towards a more innovative and modern approach to painting in the United States.

Famous Landscape Paintings by Daniel Garber

Many of Garber’s oil paintings depict scenes of the Delaware River. His paintings illustrate the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. Three of his most famous paintings are:

Vineclad Trees 1916 is a landscape oil painting owned by the Detroit Institute of Arts.

April Landscape 1910 has a beautiful color palette, was formerly part of the Corcoran Collection, and is now held by the National Gallery of Art.

Tanis 1915, in the ownership of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a portrait of the artist’s daughter, painted when the family lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Morning Light Interior 1923 is also at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Daniel Gerber’s oil on canvas is a quintessential example of the artist’s mastery at capturing the delicate interplay of light in a sunlight-filled room interior. Gerber’s daughter, Tanis, is also featured in this painting.

The New Hope School American Impressionist Landscape Art

The New Hope School was a group of artists based in Pennsylvania, of which Daniel Garber was a prominent member. William Langson Lathrop founded the school, which was located in a mill town alongside the Delaware River, an area known for its rolling hills and picturesque landscapes.

This group of artists dedicated themselves to capturing the essence of the American landscape and countryside.

Garber’s approach to plein-air landscape painting (painting outdoors) was innovative at the time. He captured natural light and atmosphere and created paintings rich in both texture and color.

Daniel Garber’s Legacy

Garber’s impressionist landscape paintings are celebrated for their technical skill and beauty. His oil paintings can be found in many major American Art Museums. The James a Michener Art Museum in Pennsylvania has one of the largest collections of Daniel Garber paintings.

Throughout his career, he received several awards and honors, including the Temple Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Fine Arts Academy and the Gold Medal from the National Academy of Design, whose founding members included Asher Brown Durand and Thomas Cole, the Hudson River School artist.
