Jay Hall Connaway American, 1893-1970 Crashing Surf, 1925 Signed Connaway and dated 25 (ll) Oil on board 24 1/4 x 40 inches Provenance: The artist Born in Indiana, Connaway studied in Indianapolis, New York (under William Merritt Chase), and Paris. From the 1930s through the mid-40s, he ran an art school on Monhegan Island, Maine, and painted littoral landscapes, characterized by a vigorous realist style that brought him widespread acclaim for "honest painting that carries conviction, that is deeply felt and, at best, grips the beholder." His forthright, accessible, and reductive views of the sea such as Crashing Surf have often been compared to the marines of Winslow Homer, Paul Dougherty, and Frederick Waugh.
