These paintings are original works of art done by Anne Lavenue Power born in Hollywood, CA in 1915. She was the sister of Tyrone Power, the famous Hollywood actor. She started painting early in life and eventually took painting and the arts up as her life’s work. Anne Power moved to New England during the 1950’s and married Brigadier General E. Peter Hardenbergh. Despite divorcing, she painted under the name Anne Power Hardenbergh for much of her life.
She studied in California with John Hubbard Rich (1876-1954), Aloys Bohnen (1889-1967) and John Garth (1889-1971). She exhibited at the Copley Society in Boston and maintained studios in Boston, Rockport, Winthrop, North Conway, N.H. and Venice, Florida. She was a painter, musician and poet.
Anne painted in many mediums, on many subjects and many places. She painted primarily in oils but also loved the medium of watercolor. Anne often sketched in pen and ink as well. The works of art include still-life, landscapes, portraits and a few abstracts. Anne lived and painted in many New England states and along the northeastern coast. Later in life she settled and painted in Florida.
Recently a record price of $10,000 was set on Bonhams & Butterfields, CA for a portrait of her brother Tyrone Power.
