William Abbott Cheever. 20TH Century Painter Scene is painted on 20" X 40" Panel and the frame measurements are 48" X 28 1/2". Painter's addresses are in Maine and Massachusetts. Exhibited PAFA, 1948-1960. Sources: Falk. PAFA,VOLUME 3. Wonderful Painting in Excellent Condition. No Restoration. The images will tell the story. A lot of painting for the money. Cheever was born in 1907 and died in 1986. He was living in Amherst,New Hampshire when he died. We recently came across this information and more info to follow from a acquaintance of his. Cheever was doing covers for the National Sportsman Magazine when he was a teenager. Those works of art are as good as Phillip Goodwins that are presently selling for six-figures. He also studied with Philip Hale, traveled to the Hebrides on a Museum School scholarship and taught later at the Boston Museum School and at Phillips Academy in Andover. His accomplishments are long and varied. He even mentioned to his friend that he did a mural for a MacDonald's Restaurant at one point in his life. Also a lady from Virginia whom is researching Cheever and is seeking information on Cheever, tells me that he painted the New Deal muural in a post office in Smithfield, Va. He also did two others in New England. We will contact Sonny, a customer of mine in Chinese and Japanese Export Porcelain, who lives in Smithfield and retired from Smithfield Packing. Their is nothing like a "SMITHFIELD HAM".
