Edgar Alwin Payne and His Works
Edgar Alwin Payne and His Works was originally published in 1926 as a limited edition run. It was published by Stendahl Art Galleries. Interestingly, Stendahl is mispelled in this edition as Stendal. I have kept the misspelling intact since it occurs in the original edition. There are other misspellings throughout the text which I have left in place.
This small book includes two essays – one by Antony Anderson and the other by Fred S. Hogue. This book also included 51 paintings by Payne with a descriptive, interpretive paragraph or two about the painting written by Antony Anderson.
What follows is not an exact reproduction of this exceedingly rare book. Wherever possible, I have replaced the crude black-and-white halftone painting reproductions from the original book with color images – if available. In many cases I could not find an exact match with any known paintings of Payne. Some of the titles used for the paintings do not match up exactly with the titles used today for his paintings. To further complicate things, Payne appears to have used the same title for multiple paintings. I spent many an hour going down rabbit holes trying to match up paintings in this catalog–usually without success. Hopefully, what follows will be an interesting and inspiring footnote in the history of the remarkable artist: Edgar Payne.
