Note
The majority of Lockwood de Forest’s oil paintings consist of seascapes or near-coastal scenes of regions in Maine or California. His work is typically painted in a wide horizontal format with low horizon lines that emphasize the dominance of sky and sea, sometimes including rocky shores or gentle waves in the foreground. De Forest’s paintings are held in numerous museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian America Art Museum, and The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.
