Painting NOT signed this was a gift from the artist to my mother when she lived next door to Donald. However I do have a letter from the artists daughter stating she believes this was given in 1981. Letter will be sent to buyer. Framed in a silver leaf frame.
the painting is a water color of Pont Neuf bridge on the Seine River in Paris. It includes some barges and a women hanging laundry and a background of Parisian buildings.
'Donald Teague, N.A'. (American, 1897-1991);
Born in Brooklyn, Donald Teague studied at the Pratt Institute and, subsequently, under George Bridgman and Frank Vincent DuMond at the Art Students League in New York. After serving in the Navy during WWI, Teague remained in London to study with Norman Wilkinson. On his return to New York, he continued his studies at the Art Students League with Dean Cornwell who, in 1921, helped Teague receive his first commissions as an illustrator for national magazines. Because Teague became engaged as the primary illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, he signed his Collier's illustrations with the brush-name of Edwin Dawes.
In the 1920's, Teague spent several summers on a Colorado ranch where he began to paint equestrian studies and developed his understanding of equine anatomy. Moving to California in 1938, he began to specialize as an illustrator of Western scenes. When Collier's ceased publication in 1958, Teague ended his career as an illustrator. He moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea, becoming an Artist Member of the Carmel Art Association and devoting the next thirty years to his vocation as a fine artist.
Over the course of a long and successful career, Teague was the recipient of numerous prestigious prizes, medals and juried awards including five First Prizes from the National Academy of Western Art, both the Gold and Silver Medal Honors from the American Watercolor Society, the S.F.B. Morse Gold Medal from the National Academy of Western Art, and two Gold Medals from the Cowboy Artists of America. In 1948, he was elected to the National Academy of Design.
Donald Teague also won international recognition for his landscape and figural work, exhibiting in major museums throughout the world, including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, London's Royal Watercolour Society, the Tokyo Museum, the Peking National Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Watercolor in Mexico City, The Chicago Art Institute, the Sydney Museum in Australia and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, among others. less
