Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Anna livecl' 'With her family in Great Britain between 1878 and 1880, where her father's watercolors and oils had gr~ ~t , success. While there, Anna began painting with her father, which she continued to do after the fa ~ 11 Y sd return to the United States. She also attended the Cowles Art School in Boston and in New York ~orke with John LaFarge and William Merritt Chase. During the 1890s and early 1900s Anna again traveled and lived in Europe, mainly England and P"""~ ris .. where she studied with Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. In 1905, while living and w o·~ ,_ ng m London, she married William Tenney Brewster, an English professor at Barnard College. The cou ~le settled in Westchester County, New York, traveling frequently to Europe and North Africa, as we ll ~8 throughout the United States. Like her father and many other American painters at the turn of the century, Anna worked directly f' ..-om nature, making small pencil and oil sketches which formed the basis for her final, large-scale wor<~· Her earlier watercolors show her father's influence, but gradually her style became more like the contemporary work of the tonalists and early impressionists, her brushwork became looser and b·~ ader and her colors warmer. She loved the quieter aspects of nature, depicting it as beautiful and invitr - g. free of harsh and unpleasant realities. Two years after Anna Richard s Brewster's death in 1952, her husband and friends organized a rre ~ orial exhibition of her work at the Museum of the City of New York. Following the exhibition, Professor Brewster donated large selections of her work to several museums. Through his friend Alfred Ho...,.... - rook, Professor Brewster gave 67 watercolors, oil sketches, and oil paintings to the Georgia Museum ol p '#Art in 1954 and 1955. Her View from Lenox, MA , one of the donated paintings, typifies the output of thi1 talented artist.

TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
