This wonderfully executed scene depicts a tranquil view of the famed “Motif Nº. 1,” the quintessential and primary
subject of any artist working in the art colony of Rockport, Massachusetts. More importantly, the renowned fish
house is one of Thieme’s signature and most desired subjects, and a scene that showcases the artist’s most
desirable talents.
A celebrated painter, Thieme was known as the master of light and reflection. During his lifetime, his workshops
were attended by some of the most noted artists of the period. Without a doubt, the artist’s work exemplifies the
most desirable attributes of the American Impressionist movement of the time and “Pleasant Morning” is a
wonderfully representative example by this important American artist.
Born in Holland, Anthony Thieme worked as a set decorator in Paris and studied throughout Europe before the
advent of WWI. During this time, he was exposed to the French and Dutch Impressionist masters and would
venture on painting campaigns to Holland, southern France, Switzerland and Italy. These early works are
generally executed with fluid and palpable impasto, a near tonal palette and quasi-abstract composition. The
Dutch scenes are poetically expressive, capturing the scenes in all their delicate nuances.
Anthony Thieme studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, Holland, under George Hacker. Then,
with Garlobini, Guardaciona and Mancini in Italy, then finishing his formative studies in Germany. On this strong
foundation, Thieme developed his own discernible style typified by liberal impasto, near-singular choice of
palette and outstanding interpretation of sunlight and texture. This well traveled artist eventually became a
longtime resident of the art colony of Rockport, MA, and one of its most noted painters.
Apart from being an extraordinary artist, Thieme was a strong proponent of the visual arts. He held
memberships in many associations and was an active and often-successful exhibitor, winning a number of
important exhibition prizes. His works are represented in numerous museums, private and corporate collections.
In 1999, the Rockport Art Association held a retrospective exhibition of Thieme’s works and published an
accompanying book and an article in American Art Review on the artist: Judith A Curtis. Anthony Thieme 1888-
1954. Rockport Art Association, 1999. (80 pages). A copy of the book is included with this work, together with a
complete listing's folder on the artist.
