anxa 88-B 2650 biographical Notes The Macbeth Gallery 450 Fifth Avenue New York Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/paintingsbyameriOOmacb_0 THE MACBETH GALLERY Paintings by American Artists Colonial portraits William Macbeth 450 Fifth Avenue (at Fortieth Street) New York THE MACBETH GALLERY FOREWORD In presenting this little collection of Biographical Notes, we have in mind the natural curiosity of the picture collector to know who the man is who painted the picture, and what he has done in the past that may indicate his position in the future. The list does not pretend to include all the American artists whom we believe to be worth while. The fifty this booklet contains, however, carefully selected from those whose pictures are to be found here, are those for whose reputation an expe- rience of over twenty years enables us to vouch with some degree of certainty. We extend our thanks to the museums and private collectors who have permitted us to reproduce their canvases, and to the American Art Annual, to the various mu- seum catalogues, and to the artists them- selves who read and corrected the proof, for the material here presented. Correspondence relating to the work of any of the men included in this booklet is cordially invited.

Stayed there two years, sketch- ing from nature at every opportunity. Upon return from the West, went to Boston and received instruc- tion at the Boston Art Association. He also paint- ed portraits with his half-brother in a number of small country towns, charging about fifteen dollars a likeness. For twelve years resided in New York, and in 1 860 visited the important art centres of Europe. Returned to America after absence of nearly a year and settled down on the farm.

Exhibited great talent for drawing as a boy. In the early fifties, re- moved to Cincinnati, where he saw his first paint- ings. When about twenty years old, went to New York and showed sketches to George Inness, who encouraged him to continue. Went to Carlsruhe and studied under Hans Gude, to whom can be traced his emphasis of form and construction, and dignity of composition. Subsequently studied in London, returning to New York about 1865. Went west with government exploring expedition, privations and accidents of which resulted in par- tial paralysis, so that, after 1 869, he was compelled to paint with his left hand. Painted for many years in Keene Valley, Adirondacks, and later in Ark- ville, in the Catskill Mountains, where most of his best work was done. He was a semi-invalid all the latter part of his life, and died in New York in 1892. First exhibited in the National Academy, New York, in 1 865. Elected an Associate of the Acad- emy in 1 868, Academician, 1 869, and was one of the founders of the American Society of Paint- ers in Water Colors. He is represented in most of the important museums and private collections throughout the country. 105
