Portrait of Emile Albert Gruppe (1896-1978)








Great portrait of Emile Gruppe by one of his students E. Bushnell. It is 18 x 24 sight size in its original period frame. It also has brass plaque that reads First Prize Meriden Conn. 1981

  Available for purchase here

Portraits of famous artists are really cool and this one sure is. No damage at all and not dirty either. Smoke free home. Titled "Emile" on stretcher. Gruppe's paintings are often seen in major auction galleries, such as Sotheby's, Christies, and Skinners. Auction prices have risen steadily and exceed most Rockport School artists. Gruppe is among the most prominent of Rockport, MA artists, a group that that includes: Anthony Thieme, Marguerite Pierson, Antonio Cirino, W Lester Stevens, and Aldro Hibbard.
