J. Alvin Storck, "Over the Hill", Framed Oil on Board, 15 x 19

$400.00

Over the Hill, a 1960 oil on board by J. Alvin Storck, depicts a snow-covered rural road winding past a red barn and farmstead under a luminous winter sky. The composition leads the eye along tire tracks cutting through fresh snow toward a cluster of buildings—a weathered barn with silo and a modest white house framed by dark evergreens. Storck’s cool violet and blue palette captures the crisp clarity of winter light, while subtle warm tones in the barn provide a focal point against the expansive sky. His direct, confident brushwork conveys both the stillness and stark beauty of the American countryside in winter.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Artist Bio

J. Alvin Storck was a Chicago‑based artist active in the mid‑20th century, known for a versatile body of work spanning landscapes, cityscapes, figurative scenes, and abstraction. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, where his approach took shape through close observation, expressive brushwork, and a strong sense of atmosphere. Across signed original works in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, Storck blended modernist color and texture with representational clarity, capturing both the quiet drama of nature and the rhythms of the built environment. His work reflects a thoughtful balance between structure and experimentation, situating him within the broader tradition of American modern and mid‑century painting.
