Harry Aiken Vincent, American, (1864 - 1931)
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Harry Vincent was a vital part of the Rockport, Massachusetts art colony,
serving as the first President of the Rockport Art Association and making it his home. He was self-taught with a penchant for bold impressionistic marine and waterfront scenes, showing special interest in themes of the commonplace in the working harbor---unloading fish, drying sails, etc.
His work was well-received in exhibitions at New York's National Academy and the Salmagundi Club in the
early 1900s, with most of them being marine paintings. In 1918, he first went to Rockport, where he
lived on the edge of Inner Harbor, the perfect spot to become familiar with Cape Ann fishermen. They often
took him out to sea where he could study the ocean closely.
Housed in the original hand carved gold leaf frame, this work exemplifies the best of Vincent's work; strong colors, iconic harbor scene, and incredible impasto.
