GEORGE TOOKER (1920 – 2011)

Highway, egg tempera on gesso hardboard, 1953, 22-7/8" x 17-7/8", custom-made replica frame, first-quarter 20th century American frame; black-painted wood with added 5/8”-visible red velvet liner, Molding width: 2-5/8"  Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection, 1992.134  Extended loan: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2011–2016) "The extended loan of the Terra Foundation’s painting ‘Highway’ by George Tooker, will enhance an installation of artists such as Gertrude Abercrombie, George Ault, Kurt Seligman, Honoré Sharrer, Yves Tanguy, Dorothea Tanning, John Wilde, and Andrew Wyeth at PAFA. The opportunity to develop additional programming as the result of the Tooker loan allows PAFA to pursue a symposium on a group of artists, including Peter Blume, George Tooker, Ivan Albright, and other Americans who used a realist method to invent their own worlds by transforming the symbolic language of Old Master painting into a contemporary idiom. These artists’ works gravitated towards the uncanny and were often called “magic realists.”"
