Biography/Statement

Born in Rochester, New York, Emile Gruppe became a renowned New England landscape and marine painter. Although he is best known for his variety of Impressionistic landscapes, he also painted figures and portraits. His modern style was largely inherited from French Impressionist Claude Monet. “Lily Pads,” date and location unknown, one of Gruppes landscapes, attests to Monets influence and is similar to some of the paintings in Monets “Water Lily” series.

He was the son of landscape artist Charles Paul Gruppe, and was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York. He had a very strong art background. In addition to being raised by an artistic father, he was also educated in art at The Hague in the Netherlands and in New York City at the National Academy of Design and The Arts Students League. He also received instruction from artists George Bridgeman, Charles Chapman, Richard Miller and John F. Carlson, with whom he would later founded, in 1942, the Gruppe Summer School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He made his permanent studio in Gloucester.

His artistic career had begun in 1915, but was briefly interrupted in 1917 when he spent a year in the United States Navy.

Gruppes prolific career brought him many awards and memberships. His popular painting “Winter, Vermont,” date and location unknown, won the Richard Mitton Award at the Jordan Marsh Exhibition in Boston in 1943.

Biography/Statement

Born in Rockport, Massachusetts, impressionist painter William Stevens lived and worked in the area for many years. In the later part of his life, he moved to Conway, Massachusetts.

His first art study was with Parker Perkins, and then he attended the Boston Museum School as a student of Edmund Tarbell, Frank Benson, Philip Hale and William Paxton.  He taught at Princeton and Boston Universities, and by 1964 had won more awards than any other living artist.

Stevens, along with his friend Aldro Hibbard, was instrumental in organizing the Rockport Art Association in 1921 with the goal of making art more accessible to common people. Later in his life Stevens also organized the Conway Festival of the Hills and the Berkshire Arts Festival.

Stevens was a member of the Boston School, traditionalists and impressionists, opposed to abstraction in art.  The subject matter was usually landscape, views of everyday life, and portraits.  William Lester Stevens died on June 10, 1969.
