Atkinson Fox (1860–1935) was a prolific Canadian-American artist, best known for his idyllic and romantic landscapes, genre scenes, and depictions of animals. Fox's art was widely distributed through mass-produced lithographs and calendars, making his work accessible to middle-class American homes. His pieces often featured soft, pastel colors and picturesque settings, reminiscent of the Hudson River School and Victorian sentimentality. Though he worked in various genres, he is especially known for his pastoral scenes, featuring lush landscapes with cottages, meadows, or animals like deer and cows. Despite his popularity during his lifetime, Fox worked anonymously under different pseudonyms for much of his career, including works signed "DeForest," "Harrison," and "Gordon." This anonymity, coupled with the commercial nature of his art, caused him to be somewhat overlooked by the fine art world. However, in recent years, collectors have rediscovered his work, recognizing the charm and skill in his prints. Fox's work remains cherished for its nostalgic and peaceful qualities, evoking a simpler time in American life. His prints continue to be collected, especially by those with an interest in early 20th-century decorative arts. Chuck Olson CollectionChuck Olson spent over 40 years collecting and traveling the United States in search of unique vintage prints. He was especially interested in prints that were printed for use on calendars in the "Age of the Calendar" from 1900-1960. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the item.
