About the Item

This is an important painting, "Flounder Fisherman at Barnegat Beach, N.J.", by American artist Kenneth Nunamaker (1890 - 1957), depicts the iconic New Jersey shoreline. Nunamaker was known for his atmospheric impressionist landscapes, and his signature with the title can be see in the bottom right corner (see photographs). Nunamaker’s classic use of color and play with the natural lighting highlights the scene beautifully, and his use of thickly layered impasto makes this a striking and memorable piece.

Including the frame, the painting measures 35 x 40 inches. This work not only reflects Nunamaker’s painting workmanship but great skill in capturing both the detail and mood of the American coastline. Provenance: Newman Galleries ~ apx 1968.
