RALPH ALBERT BLAKELOCK
Indian Encampment on a River Bank
.
Oil on canvas. 230x385 mm; 9x15 inches. Signed in oil, lower left recto.
Blakelock (1847-1919) was a NewYork City-born self-taught artist who initially followed
in his father’s footsteps by studying medicine before pursuing his passion for art. Instead
of spending time abroad in Europe to further his art career, as was his father’s suggestion
and the path for most American artists with the means to do so, Blakelock sojourned
through the AmericanWest from 1869 to 1872. His affinity for the Hudon River School
is apparent in his atmospheric and idealized landscapes, though his works are often heavier,
moodier and darkly mysterious (Blakelock was plagued by psychological troubles
throughout his career). Indian encampments were among his favorite subjects, as he stayed
with American Indians repeatedly during his western travels.
