DESCRIPTION: Attributed to Hayley Lever (American, 1876-1958) oil on board painting, depicting a summer exterior scene representing the exterior of a villa house and the outdoors patio. Painted with an impressionist impasto manner. Framed.

Born in Adelaide, Australia, Hayley Lever was known for his town-shore landscapes and still-life paintings in a style that combined impressionism with vivid colors and strong lines of realism---post impressionism. In his use of color, he was deeply influenced by Vincent Van Gogh. He freely explored numerous styles based on impressionism, but was never locked into any particular style. He showed early art talent and traveled to England in 1893. He studied art in London and then painted at an artists' colony in Cornwall on the seacoast of St. Ives where he began his seacoast paintings. Lever came to America in 1911, encouraged by American artist Ernest Lawson whom he knew in France, and was soon counted among the most widely exhibited artists in New York City.
