A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Allen Dean Cochran studied under Kenyon Cox and Birge Harrison, both of whom were members of the National Academy. Upon moving to Woodstock, he became a member of the Woodstock Artists Association, founded by his teacher, Birge Harrison. His emergent style was further influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and Tonalism. Woodland View is a rare and beautiful example of Cochran's early work and is a showcase for his unique ability to render light and shadow. The painting is in pristine condition and is set off by the handsome original frame.
Allen Dean Cochran exhibited at the National Academy with the Woodstock Artist Association, and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1914 and 1919; Art Institute of Chicago; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in 1912, 1917 and 1918. Cochran was also a member of the Salmagundi Club. His work is housed in the permanent collection of the Woodstock Artists Association and many other important private collections.
