About the Item
Beatrix Sherman
Hialeah Park Race Track, Florida, 1947
Signed lower right
Oil on canvasboard
16 x 20 inches
Beatrix Sherman (1894-1975), who changed her first name from Beatrice by 1913, but who kept her maiden name professionally after her marriage to Charles Belsh in 1919, resided in Chicago as a teenager and initially attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. The first works she is known to have exhibited were two miniatures, included in the Annual Exhibition of Works by Chicago Artists at the Art Institute from February to March, 1914, followed by one miniature portrait and five silhouettes of figures—mostly portraits—shown in the Annual Exhibition of Water Colors, Pastels and Miniatures by American Artists at the same venue from May to June.
The subject of one of her silhouettes was William M.R. French, then director of the Art Institute, and brother of famed sculptor Daniel Chester French. She traveled with her mother, Josephine, to Europe in the summer of 1914, and continued her studies, while cutting silhouettes in London and Paris. Her mother, who also cut silhouettes, would routinely assist at her daughter’s booth at world’s fairs and international expositions for decades to come.
Back in the United States in the fall, Sherman relocated from Chicago to Manhattan and enrolled in Alice Beckington and Lucia Fairchild Fuller’s Miniature class for two months, as well as Illustration with Charles Chapman. She was listed as a painter in the directory of the American Art Annual for 1915-16, but was starting to commit more to the silhouette medium.
She cut silhouettes at a booth for some of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, which lasted from February through December of 1915. Though the silhouette medium came to dominate her artistic activity for the sake of her livelihood, she came to miss painting, and in 1924 she acknowledged that “I gave up devoting all my life to profiles and decided to go back to miniatures and portraits as well.”
In 1961, Sherman cut the silhouette of President John F. Kennedy. The January 1, 1961 Palm Beach-Post Times article wrote 'She was admitted to his press conference Saturday morning to try her art from the sidelines while Kennedy spoke.'
Kennedy was her 10th presidential silhouette. It is of interest that in the same article Sherman discusses her plans to publish a book to be titled Shadows of the Great featuring silhouettes from her collection of portraits of over 10,000 people. One of her last exhibits, at the sixth anniversary of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, displayed a number of her silhouettes, including President Kennedy's and nine other presidential portraits Sherman had cut, beginning with Theodore Roosevelt, at the Hero Land Bazaar, held in New York City in 1917.
