Beatrice Whitney Van Ness
Au Revoir October

1930-60

About the Item

Signed lower right: “Beatrice Whitney Van Ness”. From the estate of the artist. Beatrice Whitney Van Ness, acclaimed painter and art educator, dedicated her life to the process of learning. As a student at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell and at Ogunquit, Maine with Charles Woodbury, she gained great proficiency as a painter. After a decade of prizes and awards she dedicated her life to art education. Van Ness taught classes at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and then founded the art department at the Beaver Country Day School outside Boston. Her pioneering work ultimately inspired many of the first art education programs in public schools. From the mid-1920’s, because of her teaching commitments, Van Ness painted primarily in the summers in Maine. The area radiated a brilliant summer heat, which she explored continually through light and pattern. These works of brilliant color and design evoke the rhythmic atmosphere, revealing her modern interest in the process of painting itself.
