HARRY ANTHONY DEYOUNG (American/Texas 1893-1956) A PAINTING, "Afternoon in the Hills, Boerne," 1930, oil on pressed board, signed and dated L/R, verso titled, signed and dated. 8" x 10" Note: Verso signed "Harry Anthony DeYoung", dated "Nov. 15, 1930" and location identified "Boerne." Harry Anthony DeYoung was born in Chicago in 1893. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Illinois. A veteran of World War I, he served as a sergeant in the quartermaster corps. He taught at various art schools throughout the United States, making a name for himself by regularly winning art prizes. After suffering a nervous breakdown at age thirty-five, DeYoung moved to Texas hoping for better health for both he and his daughter. The Witte Museum and the St. Anthony Hotel both house murals by the artist. The Alamo hangs a painting of Davy Crockett, among other portraits of historical Texans. He had a stroke shortly before turning fifty in 1942, resulting in the loss of the use of his painting hand. He learned to paint with the opposite hand and continued to create left-handed paintings for the remainder of his life. Harry Anthony DeYoung passed in Waco, Texas in 1956.
