Image: 8 1/2 x 13 3/4 inches Aiden Lassell RIPLEY (American, 1896-1969) was born in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Ripley studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston under Frank Benson and Philip Hale. He later won the Paige Traveling Fellowship, which led him to Africa, France, and The Netherlands from December of 1923 until 1925. Upon his return, Ripley was granted membership in the Guild of Boston Artists, paving the way for his first one-man show at the Guild in 1926, which is said to have been a keystone in establishing his reputation. However, Ripley’s masterful European landscapes only took him so far until he–like many other artists–struggled to sell work during the Great Depression in 1929. During this period of time, Ripley took up sporting art, which would prove to be his most successful genre. Through the Depression years Ripley also obtained funding from the United States Government's Works Progress Administration, completing a notable mural for the Lexington Post Office in 1939. By the end of his life, Ripley was still producing sporting artworks and was a member of the Boston Guild of Artists, Boston Watercolor Society, Boston Art Club, American Watercolor Society, American Artists Professional League, Audubon Artists, National Society of Mural Painters, New York Watercolor Society, Allied Artists of America, Copley Society, and more. His work is held in the collections of major museums around the US.
