This Henshaw pastel was featured in our weekly email on 7/31/14 along with the following gallery comments:
Glenn Cooper Henshaw is known mostly for his pastels, of which there are thousands – he was vastly prolific. Oils are less common but do exist in some number. Henshaw spent the bulk of his career in New York but he didn’t sit still – his settings range all over the western world – Paris, London, Venice, Chicago, Brown County, Boston, Baltimore, Indianapolis, etc. All the hot spots.
Venice is about as sexy as it gets. An ethereal pastel looking down an iconic Venetian waterway with the arched walkways and gondolas punctuating the scene moving the eye down the narrow corridor of the canal. Completely evocative of the shadowy, watery charm of Venice. A relatively large Henshaw piece and very desirable subject matter from an Indiana artist who traveled the globe for his subject matter.
