Ernest Lawson
American, 1873–1939
Ernest Lawson, like Everett Shinn (1876–1953) and William Glackens (1870–1938), was a member of the group known as The Eight. Lawson shared the enthusiasm of the other members of the group for depicting New York City, however he generally chose landscape subjects in areas that were nearby and accessible to city dwellers. Some of his finest works are those that depict the monumental structures, such as bridges, that connected Manhattan and other boroughs to their suburban surroundings.
Pass in the Pines is an image made when Lawson had departed the city for a true wilderness area, most likely the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, which were a favorite retreat for New Yorkers on vacation. The work displays the broken, shimmering color and brushstroke by which Lawson’s paintings are recognized.
