This Sitzman painting was featured in our weekly email on 5/22/14 along with the following gallery comments:
Edward Sitzman was originally from Cincinnati and studied under the legendary Frank Duveneck and later went to Munich for training. He moved to Indianapolis in 1897. Sitzman’s oils, particularly the early ones were very painterly and often represented that Indiana-standard, interior woods scenes. He seemed to go ‘commercial’ at some point and produced many studio watercolors featuring idealized landscapes. These were not done from life (typically) and are not well-collected. However his oil output is fairly well-regarded and is generally of a higher standard. Interior Woods is a classic example. A very colorful, vibrant oil, working with sunlight and shadows in natural woods setting. A classic Indiana landscape.
