Historical Context
The 1930s found Alten in a second story studio above Peck’s Drug Store in the heart of a bustling Grand Rapids along Division Avenue. An aging Alten traveled less and, as a result, had fewer opportunities to paint new landscapes. Instead, the timeline of his paintings shows a reach back to his years as an artist in training, as he returned to painting floral still-lifes within his studio so he would still have something to paint.
