  • New Exhibition the American Muse Debuts at the Nmai
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2013 Contact: Eric Brocklehurst Tel: (401) 851-8949 ext. 18 Email: [email protected] Website: www.americanillustration.org NEW EXHIBITION ‘THE AMERICAN MUSE’ DEBUTS AT THE NMAI NEWPORT, RI- Friday, May 24, the NMAI officially debuts its new exhibition, The American Muse. The exhibition is in homage to American women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the illustrators who accurately portrayed the quintessential yet distinctly American feminine beauty that these women embodied. The American illustrators highlighted include Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, and others of the greatest illustrators of the period, such as: Philip Boileau, MacClelland Barclay, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Henry Hutt, Walter Granville Smith, Paul Stahr, and Albert Beck Wenzell. Each of these illustrators created their own prototypical image of ‘The American Woman.’ The public gave these illustrators’ artworks generic names as part of their respective oeuvre; The Gibson Girl and The Fisher Girl stand out as the most popular of all. These renditions of the illustrators’ ideal woman captured the increasingly independent spirit of American women. The illustrations both shaped and reflected American society and its notions of female beauty. Compared to women of previous eras, these women relished more freedoms, enjoyed greater opportunities in sports and education, and were at the vanguard of a time when women effected change through social and political movements on an unprecedented scale in Western culture. Also showing at the NMAI are Maxfield Parrish: The Retrospective, which has been extended due to popular demand through Fall 2013, and Howard Pyle & His Brandywine Students, showcasing the works of Howard Pyle, N.C.

  • Violet Oakley: Pennsylvania’S Premiere Muralist
    1 VIOLET OAKLEY: PENNSYLVANIA’S PREMIERE MURALIST Susan Hamburger Paper and slide presentation Pennsylvania Historical Association October 14, 1995 [SLIDE 1] Violet Oakley--a versatile portraitist, illustrator, stained glass artisan, and muralist--earned a reputation as the first American woman artist to succeed in the predominantly-male architectural field of mural decoration. Her strong commitment to her religion and world peace influenced her art as well as her life. [SLIDE 2] Oakley was born in Bergen Heights, New Jersey, to the artistic family of Arthur Edmund Oakley and Cornelia Swain Oakley. Both of her grandfathers, George Oakley and William Swain, belonged to the National Academy of Design and two of her aunts studied painting in Munich with Frank Duveneck. She believed that her compulsion to draw was “hereditary and chronic.” She once commented that she must have been “a monk in some earlier state of existence....The abbesses and sisters were too busy nursing the sick and doing fine needleworks. I never heard of them illuminating manuscripts. I am quite sure I was a monk.” 1 The youngest of three children, Violet followed her sisters Cornelia and Hester in learning the acceptable feminine skills of poetry writing, piano playing, 2 and sketching. While Hester attended Vassar College, Violet’s asthma prevented her from obtaining a college education which her parents thought too rigorous for her physical condition. She never let the asthma impede her artistic education or career. In 1892, at the age of eighteen, Oakley commuted to New York City to study at the Art Students’ League with Irving R.

    Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Harvey Thomas Dunn Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Images Presenting homestead life as a frugal, heroic, lonely existence, Harvey Dunn has captured and preserved the realism of our pioneer heritage more than any other painter. He was bom near Manchester, Dakota Territory, on 8 March 1884. D From 1901 to 1902 he attended South Dakota »Agricultural College at Brookings, where he studied under Ada B. Caldwell. After further instruction at the Chicago Institute of Art, he completed his »training as a student of Howard Pyle, well-known illustrator, in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1906 Dunn established his own studio in Wilmington. He was an almost immediate success as an illustrator and worked for such popular magazines as Scribner's, Harper's, and The Saturday Evening Post. During World War 1 Dunn served as an artist-correspondent for the A.E.F. in Europe. When he returned in 1919, he and his wife, Johanne Louise Krebs, moved to TenaÜy, New Jersey, where he lived until his death in 1952. w In 1920 Dunn painted The Homesteader's Wife, the first of his pioneer series, and in 1925 began his most popular work The Prairie is My w Garden. During the 1930s the photographer began to take the place of the illustrator, so Dunn turned to mural painting. In 1935 he painted Dust and other works showing drought, and in 1945 he did Something for Supper. In the 1940s Dunn made several trips back to X South Dakota.
