Jonas Lie American/Norwegian, 1880-1940 Snowing, 1925 Inscribed Til Solveig og Ole/For "Auld Lang Syne"/fra Jonas (ll), signed Jonas Lie and dated Saranac/1925 (lr); inscribed as titled on the stretchers Oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches Provenance: Frank Riehlman, New York Private collection, Dallas, TX Exhibited: New York, Macbeth Gallery, Eleven Recent Paintings by Jonas Lie, 1932 (no. 3, as Snow) An emigrant from Norway to America in 1893, Lie had a special affinity for the Adirondacks. While staying in Lake Placid in the early 1920s, he produced some of his finest winter landscapes. In this image, probably rendered on New Years in 1925, he depicted a view looking down on the village of Saranac Lake and the Saranac River, capturing the way that the heavy snowfall blended architectural forms into natural landscape, creating an overall unity of tone and a feeling of deep quietude.
