  • A Pioneer Artist on Lake Superior
    A PIONEER ARTIST ON LAKE SUPERIOR ON JANUARY 18, 1940, the Brooklyn Museum placed on display the first comprehensive collection ever assembled of the works of Eastman Johnson. Newspapers and periodi­ cals throughout the nation commented on the exhibit in their art columns, and at least one critic expressed surprised de­ light over a series of Indian sketches made on Lake Su­ perior.^ Six of the seven pictures in this group were loaned to the Brooklyn Museum for the Johnson exhibit by the St. Louis County Historical Society of Duluth, which has in its collections thirty-two paintings and sketches of Lake Su­ perior scenes and figures by this distinguished American portrait and genre painter. The story of Johnson's visits to the Head of Lake Su­ perior in 1856 and 1857, when he painted his western pic­ tures, and of the return of most of these pictures to the region of their origin forms an important chapter in the history of Minnesota art. When he made his first excur­ sion to the West, Johnson was a young man of thirty-two who had already experienced a measure of success as a por­ trait artist and who had enjoyed the advantages of six years of study abroad. In Augusta, Maine, and in Washington and Boston, he had filled orders for numerous portraits in pencil, crayon, and pastel. Among his subjects were such celebrities as Mrs. James Madison, Daniel Webster, and members of the Longfellow family.^ ^ For reviews of the Johnson exhibit, see, for example, the New York Times of January 21, Newsweek for January 22, and the New Yorker for February 3, 1940.

  • Essays for Docents Project, 2007-2009 on the Occasion of UMMA's Expansion and Renovation
    1895.90 Essays for Docents Project, 2007-2009 On the Occasion of UMMA’s Expansion and Renovation Eastman Johnson (1824 – 1906) Boyhood of Lincoln oil on canvas 1868 46 7/16 x 37 5/16 in 1895.90 Bequest of Henry C. Lewis Background The early nineteenth century was a disorganized period in the United State’s national development. Still a nascent country, it lacked a national identity and the population struggled with how to define itself. The sting of the Revolutionary War was still fresh, yet attentions had to be turned to the imminent war between the North and South. The Civil War ravaged the nation, which emerged from the struggle ripped apart not only physically but ideologically and politically as well. Regardless of the North’s victory, however, it was clear that a national leader had emerged in the character of President Abraham Lincoln, whose moralistic attitude and respect for his country and its people won the hearts many Americans. Object Information: Conflation of European Style and American Subject Matter Eastman Johnson worked at a time when portraiture and genre painting were at the height of their popularity in America and Europe (particularly in the Northern countries). Genre works depict scenes from daily life; they are easy to relate to and lack the moral teaching extolled in neoclassical paintings. The ideology behind genre painting is not to elevate but to exhibit quotidian experiences. Conversely, portraits, especially portraits of leaders, actively work to promote a specific individual whose virtues are shown by surrounding symbolic objects. Essay by Jane Braun, BA, UM 2008 Editing supervision by Pam Reister, Associate Curator for Education and 1895.90 Essays for Docents Project, 2007-2009 On the Occasion of UMMA’s Expansion and Renovation The Boyhood of Lincoln is particularly interesting because it employs aspects of both genre painting and portraiture.

An examination of the painting—which depicts a black man reading a Bible—reveals multiple artistic, social, political, and spiritual influences. Created in the midst of the American Civil War, the painting’s inspiration derived from Johnson’s New England childhood, training in Europe, encounters with the Transcendentalist movement, and his abolitionist views.

  • A Guide to the John Quincy Adams Ward Papers Summary Information
    A Guide to the John Quincy Adams Ward Papers Summary Information Repository Albany Institute of History & Art Library Creator John Quincy Adams Ward Title John Quincy Adams Ward Papers, 1800-1933 Identifier CM 544 Date 1800-1933 Physical Description 2.08 linear feet; 5 Hollinger boxes Physical Location The materials are located onsite in the Museum. Language of the Material English Abstract John Quincy Adams Ward was born on June 29, 1830, in Urbana, Ohio. The fourth of eight children born to John Anderson (1783-1855) and Eleanor Macbeth Ward (1795- 1856), one of his younger brothers was the artist, Edgar Melville Ward (1839-1915). Encouraged in his early art by local potter, Miles Chatfield, Ward became discouraged after attending a sculpture exhibition in Cincinnati in 1847. While living with his older sister Eliza (1824-1904) and her husband in Brooklyn, New York, Ward began training under sculptor Henry Kirke Brown (1814-1886), under whose tutelage he would remain from 1849-1856. In 1857 he set out on his own, making busts of men in public life. In 1861, Ward set up his own studio in New York City, where he dedicated himself to developing an American school of sculpture. Left a widower twice, Ward eventually married Rachel Smith (1849-1933) in 1906. She was instrumental in helping to get his work and papers placed in numerous institutions. During his lifetime, Ward created numerous public sculptures, including one of General Phillip Sheridan in Albany, New York, and he participated in and served on numerous boards. Ward died in New York City in 1910, and was buried in Oakdale Cemetery in Urbana, Ohio.

  • EJCR July29 2021 NA
    THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DESIGN ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF THE EASTMAN JOHNSON CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ, DIRECTED BY DR. PATRICIA HILLS (July 29, 2021 - New York, NY)––The National Academy of Design is pleased to announce the launch of the virtual Eastman Johnson Catalogue Raisonné on July 29, in recognition of the anniversary of the artist’s birthday. In this first phase, the catalogue raisonné is focused on American artist Eastman Johnson’s paintings. Subsequent phases will include the artist’s drawings and prints. Founded and directed by Dr. Patricia Hills, project managed by Abigael MacGibeny, and stewarded by the National Academy of Design, the Eastman Johnson Catalogue Raisonné (EJCR) is based on Dr. Hills’s decades-long research on Johnson’s artwork, which dates to the 1972 monographic exhibition of his work at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Celebrating the artist’s substantial contributions to the development of American genre and portrait painting throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century, this catalogue raisonné is a vast and intricate online resource Eastman Johnson, Self-Portrait, 1859-1860, designed to be a living archive. The website address of Collection of the National Academy of Design the Eastman Johnson Catalogue Raisonné will be www.eastmanjohnson.org. “The National Academy of Design is honored to serve as the steward of the Eastman Johnson Catalogue Raisonné. Elected as an Academician in 1860, Eastman Johnson was an active and engaged leader of the National Academy community over many decades—serving as a board member, officer, and instructor—so it is especially meaningful that the Academy is now able to help preserve and amplify his work and legacy for future generations.
