DOEL REED (1895-1985) SCARCE OIL ON CANVAS
Chester Doel Reed (1895-1985)
Second quarter of the 20th Century.
The large oil on canvas in an interesting and varied palette is signed in red pigment lower left and displayed in a very fine custom frame.
Oil paintings by Doel Reed, especially works this large, are rarely offered at auction. Those that have appeared are typically views of the American Southwest from Reed's later Modernist period. This slightly more impressionist work displays a style and topography suggestive of the artist's career prior to his taking a position as instructor of art at Oklahoma State University.
After studying and working in architecture, and prior to serving in World War One, Dole Reed studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy. He returned there to study and teach after the war. It's worth noting the similarities between the painting being offered here and a landscape by Lewis Henry Meakin (1850-1917) his instructor at the Academy. While Meakin is primarily credited with introducing Reed to printmaking, the landscape up for bid here bears a striking resemblance to the composition of Meakin's 1915 canvas titled Evening Rain.
After his time in Ohio, Dole Reed took a position as head of the Oklahoma State University art department in 1924. A position he would hold until his retirement in 1959. Following retirement he moved to Taos, New Mexico where he lived until his death in 1985.
Over the course of his career, Reed participated in more than 300 juried art exhibitions and was elected to the National Academy of Design for his achievements as a printmaker, specifically the medium of aquatint etching, for which he is considered a master. To this day, OSU's Dole Reed Center in Taos honors his legacy with cultural and educational programs, workshops and residencies that serve the arts community both locally and nationally.
