I hope this will be a useful for you in preparation for our upcoming exhibition. I will be posting interesting things I find on the Hosek Collection and I hope you will do the same. I think more than ever it is important that we share information.
Here are some interesting tips and links that I have found in the past few days:
Jennie Brownscombe
Brownscombe did a very famous painting of the first Thanksgiving, which you can see in this wikipedia article on Thanksgiving.
John Clymer
John Clymer had a museum created in his honor in Kittitas County, Washington.
This is a link to a virtual tour that you can take of a reconstruction of his studio.
Excerpts from a book about John Clymer,
John Clymer, an Artist's Rendezvous with the Frontier West
I am working my way down the alphabet. Feel free to post any interesting you come across.
Great Idea Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning that Adam Emory Albright sold his paintings not for an upfront price, but rather on lifetime monthly payments. This ensured his income into his old age. The monthly payment sounded cheap, but he fooled his clients by living to age 95!
Art
Great story, Art. I think the more we learn about these artists, the more we will see what characters they were. Be sure to check out the link I just posted on Whistler and Dannat.
