Adelaide Lawson Wood (American, 1889-1986) Expressionistic Watercolor Landscape, c. 1930s 1930s wood block Florida WaterLast fall I purchased and quickly sold a handful of works from a dealer at Brimfield by Adelaide Lawson Gaylor (1889 1986) and Wood Gaylor (1883 1957), which had been acquired from a one time neighbor of the couple on Long Island; last week I went back to him to scoop up a few more. This unsigned watercolor is by her, c. 1930s I believe, with a terrific untamed looseness and radiant energy to it, characteristic of much of her work. Lots out there
