Label TextDaniel Garber was born into a Mennonite family in North Manchester, Indiana. He entered the Cincinnati Art Academy and continued his studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where his primary mentor was Thomas Anschutz. In the spring of 1907 Garber and his wife settled in Lumberville, Pennsylvania and within a few years he had ascended to a place of prominence among American painters for both his landscapes and his portraits.Garber is a recognized leader of the New Hope School of Pennsylvania Impressionists. This loosely-knit group of artists working around the area of New Hope, Pennsylvania was active during the first half of the twentieth century. While he also painted figure paintings, "By Addingham" illustrates the artist's interest in the regional landscape of the New Hope area, represented with Garber's hallmarks of jewel-like tonalities and striated brushwork.
