    V NINETEENTH CENTURY^ AMERIGAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/nineteenthcenturOObowd_0 NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PAINTINGS AT BOWDOIN COLLEGE BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART 1974 Copyright 1974 by The President and Trustees of Bowdoin College This Project is Supported by a Grant from The National Endowment for The Arts in Washington, D.C. A Federal Agency Catalogue Designed by David Berreth Printed by The Brunswick Publishing Co. Brunswick, Maine FOREWORD This catalogue and the exhibition Nineteenth Century American Paintings at Bowdoin College begin a new chapter in the development of the Bow- doin College Museum of Art. For many years, the Colonial and Federal portraits have hung in the Bowdoin Gallery as a permanent exhibition. It is now time to recognize that nineteenth century American art has come into its own. Thus, the Walker Gallery, named in honor of the donor of the Museum building in 1892, will house the permanent exhi- bition of nineteenth century American art; a fitting tribute to the Misses Walker, whose collection forms the basis of the nineteenth century works at the College. When renovations are complete, the Bowdoin and Boyd Galleries will be refurbished to house permanent installations similar to the Walker Gal- lery's. During the renovations, the nineteenth century collection will tour in various other museiniis before it takes its permanent home. My special thanks and congratulations go to David S. Berreth, who developed the original idea for the exhibition to its present conclusion. His talent for exhibition installation and ability to organize catalogue materials will be apparent to all.

  • Notes for Tour of Townsend Mansion, Home of the Cosmos
    NOTES FOR TOUR OF TOWNSEND MANSION HOME OF THE COSMOS CLUB July 2015 Harvey Alter (CC: 1970) Editor Updated: Jean Taylor Federico (CC: 1992), Betty C. Monkman (CC: 2004), FOREWORD & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS These notes are for docent training, both background and possible speaking text for a walking tour of the Club. The material is largely taken from notes prepared by Bill Hall (CC: 1995) in 2000, Ed Bowles (CC: 1973) in 2004, and Judy Holoviak (CC: 1999) in 2004 to whom grateful credit is given. Many of the details are from Wilcomb Washburn’s centennial history of the Club. The material on Jules Allard is from the research of Paul Miller, curator of the Newport Preservation Society. The material was assembled by Jack Mansfield (CC: 1998), to whom thanks are given. Members Jean Taylor Federico and Betty Monkman with curatorial assistant, Peggy Newman updated the tour and added references to notable objects and paintings in the Cosmos Club collection in August, 2009. This material was revised in 2010 and 2013 to note location changes. Assistance has been provided by our Associate Curators: Leslie Jones, Maggie Dimmock, and Yve Colby. Acknowledgement is made of the comprehensive report on the historic structures of the Townsend Mansion by Denys Peter Myers (CC: 1977), 1990 rev. 1993. The notes are divided into two parts. The first is an overview of the Club’s history. The second part is tour background. The portion in bold is recommended as speaking notes for tour guides followed by information that will be useful for elaboration and answering questions. The notes are organized by floor, room and section of the Club, not necessarily in the order tours may take.

In many ways, this past year will be remembered as one of extreme high and lows. Amid a five- month closure due to COVID-19, we came together as a Museum, conceiving new accessible online programs, art activities, and community outreach initiatives on a scale that we had never seen before. We also witnessed the nation face a reckoning in race relations, and in an effort to counter systematic racism in the art world, we at the NBMAA strengthened our commitment to expanding the dialog of equity, diversity, and inclusion that we activated years ago. Additionally, in 2020, exactly a century after the Women’s Suffrage Movement celebrated its landmark victory, the New Britain Museum of American Art is proud to recognize the extraordinary achievement of women artists through the 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA initiative. An ambitious year- long series of groundbreaking exhibitions devoted exclusively to female-identifying artists, 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA serves as just one part of our larger commitment to representing the ever-broadening scope of American art—a commitment that we will continue to strive towards, long into the future.

Gerry 1858 , Dated 1858 RECENT ACQUISITIONS September 19- November 12, 2008 VOSE GALLERIES OF BOSTON Raised in a farming family in Pennsylvania, Martin Johnson Heade’s modest roots did not presume that he would ultimately enjoy the longest career of any nineteenth-century American painter, and travel far beyond the boundaries of his home state. Heade began painting around the age of eighteen and settled in New York in 1843, a move that prompted a fifteen-year period during which he lived and journeyed throughout the United States and Europe, spending time in cities such as Rome, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Tren - ton, Providence and New Orleans. After his travels, Heade took a studio at the popular Tenth Street Studio Building in New York City, where he met the leading landscape artists of the day, including Frederic E. Church, who most likely influenced Heade’s lifelong interest in land- and seascape paint - ing. The artist’s long relationship with Vose Galleries began in the late 1850s while he was painting in Rhode Island. There he met Seth Vose, and the two became friends and col - leagues; Vose represented Heade’s pictures from as early as 1860. After leaving New York in 1862, the artist rented space in Boston’s newly-opened Studio Building.
