SCHICK, PAUL RAYMOND (American, b. 1888) "Windy Day in Autumn: A Redding, Connecticut View." Signed, L.L., stamped with artist's name on the frame. Oil on board, 8" x 10: (sight); 11" x 12 3/4" (framed).

A painter and lecturer, Paul Raymond Schick was born in Bellaire, Ohio in 1888. He lived for many years in West Redding, Connecticut, where this autumn view was painted. With a deft touch and using tactile brush strokes, the artist was able to imbue this small landscape with a remarkable sense of motion; as trees and branches sway in the breeze, you can almost feel the wind whistling across the canvas. Paul Raymond Schick was a member of the Salmagundi Club in New York, where he exhibited from 1940-46. In 1939 he exhibited at the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco and the New York World's Fair, where he won a prize. He also exhibited at the Society for Four Arts, Norton, Ga., the Newport Art Association, Guild Hall, East Hampton, N.Y., and elsewhere. His paintings are represented in the Norton Gallery, West Palm Beach, Florida, and his murals appear in churches in Shreveport, LA., and in Bosier City, LA.
