Featured in this lot is an oil painting of a fishing village from Minnesota by artist Everett McNear who was born in 1904 and died in 1984. The painting features a wonderfully and professionally crafted oil on board construction with an abstract design of a fishing village with a fisherman bringing in his haul for the day. The artist's signature, Everett McNear, is in the bottom right hand corner. Everett McNear was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1904. At the age of 16, he did his first work as a professional designer. In 1924, he made his first contact with Cameron Booth. Booth’s influence on McNear was significant. Under the influence of Booth, McNear abandoned the curvilinear forms of his early drawings in favor of a more disciplined aesthetic. McNear and his wife, Ann, were benefactors of what was the Notre Dame Art Gallery (now the Snite Art Museum); They served on the advisory panel and McNear did the initial gallery installation design. McNear donated hundreds of his own works to the Snite Art Museum, plus pieces from his own collection including works by Alexander Archipenko, Cameron Booth and Edmund Kinzinger, as well as African sculptures; Flemish, Spanish, and Italian manuscript pages; Persian paintings and Peruvian textiles. The overall condition of the oil on board is good with no obvious signs of damage. The outer measurements of the frame are 30 3/4" x 41", and the visible art measures 23 1/2" x 33 3/4".*
