Alson Skinner Clark American, 1876-1949 Pushing Through the Ice, 1906 Signed Alson Clark and dated 06 (ll) Oil canvas laid to masonite 17 7/8 x 21 3/8 inches Provenance: Private collection, Midwest Exhibited: Chicago, Richard Love Galleries, American Winter Scenes of Yesteryear, Dec. 14, 1996-Feb. 8, 1997, no. 9 New York, Spanierman Gallery, LLC, American Paintings: 1838-1940, Apr. 8-Oct. 31, 1999, p. 37 color illus. New York, Spanierman Gallery, LLC, The Friedman Collection: Artists of Chicago, Mar. 7-Apr. 6, 2002 Charleston, South Carolina, Gibbes Museum of Art, An American Impressionist: The Art and Life of Alson Skinner Clark May 27-Aug. 7, 2005; traveled to: Pasadena, CA, Pasadena Museum of California Art, Sept. 2005-Jan. 2006 Alson Skinner Clark studied with William Merritt Chase in New York and with James McNeill Whistler in Paris. Although he established a studio in Watertown, New York, in 1902, he maintained ties with his native Chicago, which was the subject of the cityscapes in the mode of the Ashcan School that he painted in the years that followed. His vantage point in Pushing through the Ice is a harbor on the Chicago River. His use of a dynamic brush handling to portray the industrial warehouses that have overtaken the shoreline conveys his concurrence with the belief held in the era, that America's industrial progress assured the nation's future leadership role in the world.
