Nashville Arts Magazine has selected two works from the American Realism collection of Haynes Galleries of to feature on its cover.

“September Afternoon,” an oil painting by famed illustrator N.C. Wyeth, is one of the artist’s rare personally driven works. Inspired by the pastoral scenes that surrounded him in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, Wyeth turned to the e...asel, and in the early 1900s, he began painting in the style of Divisionist artists.

This classic work stands in sharp contrast to Karen Horn’s “Yellow Paper Composition,” a still life of iris and lily minimally arranged in a glass vase. Horn, a contemporary American Realist, lives and paints in Northern California. Inspired by her garden, she crafts watercolors with a surgeon’s precision.

Haynes Galleries specializes in American Realism of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in two locations: Nashville, Tenn., and Thomaston, Maine.
