Museum Provenance

Henry Lyman Saÿen was an early 20th-century American painter. Influenced by modern art patrons and Picasso supporters Leo and Gertrude Stein, he began study under Henri Matisse in 1907. Noted particularly for his landscapes, his work grew more modern toward the end of his life. In his final work, The Thundershower c.1917-1918, in the collections of our Smithsonian American Art Museum, Saÿen blends European modernism and Native American decorative patterns.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
