Born in Cincinnati, he adopted an early style influenced by the Munich School with its continuation of the Dutch tradition. While traveling in France in 1889, however, he was exposed to the work of the Grez artists' colony, recognized for their free palettes, spontaneous brushwork, and primacy of light. This impacted Potthast so dramatically that he permanently converted to the Impressionist style and within the year was exhibiting his first Impressionist canvas, Sunshine, at the Paris Salon of 1889.After returning to America, Potthast moved to New York in 1895, and his subject matter shifted to the coastal and beach scenes of New England. This painting, A Family Outing, is an example of this new American subject matter, as well as a wonderful representation of Potthast's bright and cheerful rendering of a family holiday. His brushwork is quick, fluid, and loose, which enabled him to capture both the movement of the ocean and the intensity of midday light. In 1906, he was named an Academician, and his works are now featured in the Cincinnati Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.This painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné by Mary Ran.Condition Report: Overall good condition.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
