Sol Wilson was a Polish-born American painter who spent his summers in Provincetown. He immigrated to New York as a teenager and later studied with artists such as George Bellows and Robert Henri. Wilson drew inspiration from their interest in depicting everyday life, though with his own style of expressive and gestural painting. Many of his landscapes are populated with abstracted human figures. His rendering of the Cape dunes showcases the large-scale geography in comparison to the human form, as well as reveals the textural diversity of the sand and beach vegetation.

A professional landscape artist originally from Bridgeport, CT, Raymond Eastwood spent his summers on Cape Cod and in California painting the natural world. His rendering of the Outer Cape dunescape captures the powerful essence of stillness and serenity, particularly in the unmoving dune grass and the hazy open sky.

Originally from Providence RI, Salvatore Del Deo permanently resided in Provincetown with his wife and poet Josephine Breen Del Deo. Del Deo has been visiting the dune shack that he called “Frenchie’s,” nicknamed after his friend and the original owner, Jeanne “Frenchie” Chanel, for decades. He and his son Romolo rebuilt their iconic shack in the 1970s after it was damaged from a turbulent rainstorm. Del Deo's style and approach to painting landscapes resembles some of the work of Paul Cezanne, especially in the emphasis on horizontal and vertical gestures and the use of color as structure. Although he has some works of town life, Deo admits, “It doesn’t satisfy me. I had to come to the inner core of this crazy land, there’s an anatomy here to this landscape of long horizontals unlike other places.”
