17. Joseph Mallord William Turner, RA (baptised 14 May 1775^[a] – 19 December 1851) was a British Romantic landscape painter, water-colourist, and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting.^[1] Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light"^[2] and his work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism. Some of his works also are cited as examples of Abstract Art existing prior to recognition in the early twentieth century.^{[3] Wikipedia}

 It is widely known that in the 1940's Gimbels Dept Store sold fake Turner sketches.  This piece is dated 1930, has a catalogue number and is described as being a gift to Jock Whitney.  This is a mystery, as well as a very pretty pair of drawings to hang proudly.

Theodore Tihansky

Monhegan Island, ME

Ted Tihansky received his formal art training at the Art Students League in New York City, Paier College of Art, and Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Connecticut. He has also studied with landscape painter Don Stone, portraitist Aaron Shikler, Ronald Sherr, and Harvey Dinnerstein, all internationally known artists. He has taught at the South County Art Association and conducted private classes in Newport. In 1991 Mr. Tihanshky was awarded the John Stobart Landscape Fellowship with the concurrent opportunity to show at the Lyme Academy Fine Art Gallery.  In November 1995, he opened the Theodore Tihansky Fine Art & Performance Gallery on Franklin Street in Newport, Rhode Island at which he received wide recognition for his “Collaboration of the Arts” production.  In September 2000 he returned to the Art Students League in New York City to hone his techniques.   Returning to Maine, Mr. Tihansky spent his first winter as a sternman on a lobster boat and spent his free time painting the harsh and splendid scenes of the island.  In his words, "The paintings are the end products; what is important to me is the moment, the experience that I have because of my painting.  The people I meet and the things I do are the reason."
