Mr. Clarke is widely known as a most intelligent and cultivated ama- teur. His acquaintance with his possessions is intimate, as that of many collectors is not, and he has acquired them because he liked themand wanted them. He was the first buyer of pictures to comprehend the merit and value of the work of ournative school-principally, I should say, that painted in the past twenty-five years. In this large collection many pictures of earlier date will be found, but its reputation comes chiefly from Mr. Clarke’s support of the artists who were known in the latter part of the seventies as ‘‘ The Younger Men.” Some of these are veterans now, of course. He was at the same time a great patron of Inness, Winslow Homer,and Wyant. He owns I. 8 INTRODUCTION.

After a voyage of 66 days, they reach Cape Cod on November 9. In December, the colonists relocate to the current site of Plymouth and begin planning their settlement. 1621 Bradford is elected Governor of the colony after the death John Carver. 1630 Bradford begins writing Of Plimoth Plantation, a detailed history of the founding of Plymouth Colony and the lives of the colonists from 1621 to 1647.

    Charles s. h opkinson The Innocent Eye Charles Hopkinson’s Studio at “Sharksmouth” Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts Photograph by Charles R. Lowell Charles s. h opkinson (1869-1962) The Innocent Eye June 8-July 20, 2013 V ose Fine American Art for Six Generations Est 1841 G alleries llc introduCtion Vose Galleries is pleased to present our fifth one-man exhibition of works by Boston painter Charles Sydney Hopkinson (1869-1962), most of which have come directly from the Hopkinson family and have never before been offered for sale. We present fifteen watercolors and fifteen oil paintings, including the powerful cover work, Yacht Races , which illustrates Hopkinson’s life long search for new methods and ideas in the making of art. Unlike most of his Boston con - temporaries who studied and taught at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Hopkinson chose a different approach. He studied at the Art Students League in New York City, whose instructors followed a less dogmatic method of teaching. The artist also made several trips to Europe, where he viewed exciting new forms of self-expression. He was one of only a few Boston artists to be invited to show work in the avant-garde International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York City in 1913, which exposed audiences to the radical art movements taking place in Europe, particularly in France. Now cel - ebrating its one-hundredth year anniversary, the exhi - bition, which is now commonly referred to as the Armory Show of 1913, has become a watershed in the history of modernism in the United States.

  • Geology and Ecology in the Nineteenth Century American Landscape Paintings of Frederic E
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2001 Volume II: Art as Evidence: The Interpretation of Objects Reading the Landscape: Geology and Ecology in the Nineteenth Century American Landscape Paintings of Frederic E. Church Curriculum Unit 01.02.01 by Stephen P. Broker Introduction This curriculum unit uses nineteenth century American landscape paintings to teach high school students about topics in geography, geology, ecology, and environmental science. The unit blends subject matter from art and science, two strongly interconnected and fully complementary disciplines, to enhance learning about the natural world and the interaction of humans in natural systems. It is for use in The Dynamic Earth (An Introduction to Physical and Historical Geology), Environmental Science, and Advanced Placement Environmental Science, courses I teach currently at Wilbur Cross High School. Each of these courses is an upper level (Level 1 or Level 2) science elective, taken by high school juniors and seniors. Because of heavy emphasis on outdoor field and laboratory activities, each course is limited in enrollment to eighteen students. The unit has been developed through my participation in the 2001 Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute seminar, "Art as Evidence: The Interpretation of Objects," seminar leader Jules D. Prown (Yale University, Professor of the History of Art, Emeritus). The "objects" I use in developing unit activities include posters or slides of studio landscape paintings produced by Frederic Church (1826-1900), America's preeminent landscape painter of the nineteenth century, completed during his highly productive years of the 1840s through the 1860s. Three of Church's oil paintings referred to may also be viewed in nearby Connecticut or New York City art museums.

    Oral history interview with Allan Rohan Crite, 1979 January 16-1980 October 22 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Allan Rohan Crite on January 16, 1979 and culminating on October 22, 1980. The interview was conducted by Robert Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview [TAPE 1, SIDE 1] Note: Susan Thompson, associate of Crite, participated in interview of Oct. 22. ALLAN ROHAN CRITE I was born March 20, 1910, at 190 Grove Street, North Plainfield, NJ. As far as my memory of the place is concerned, I'll be a little bit vague because I left there when I was less than a year old, and came to Boston. But I did go back just recently, during the month of December, so I had a chance to see my birthplace -- the house is still standing. It's a funny little two-storey frame house, on a tree-lined street. ROBERT BROWN: Why did your parents bring you up here [Boston]? ALLAN ROHAN CRITE Well, I brought my parents to Boston (both laugh). I really don't know, exactly. My father was studying at Cornell University, and then I think he came and went to the University of Vermont. I think my mother, when she came to Boston, worked out in Danvers for some wealthy family there.
