Provenance
Private Collection, Rhinebeck, New York
Cecil Chichester, born in New York City in 1891, was a painter, educator, and accomplished advertising illustrator throughout his career. His artistic training is not well-documented, but it is known that he studied under Hardesty Maratta and Birge Harrison in the early 1900s and spent part of his career in Europe.
Chichester is most renowned for his contributions to the Woodstock art colony, where the works he created are regarded as significant milestones in his career. He explored both impressionistic and realistic styles, utilizing vibrant colors and intricate textures in his paintings. His primary focus was on landscapes, particularly highlighting the seasonal transformations. Chichester drew inspiration from the romantic naturalism of the Hudson River School, the realism of the Barbizon School, and the plein air practices of the Impressionists. The influence of the Woodstock artists also infused his work with a sense of 'utopian structure and a cult of the picturesque.' It is believed that Chichester arrived in Woodstock around 1906, guided by Birge Harrison, a pivotal figure in the colony's early development.
The Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts colony was established in Woodstock by Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead in 1902. The New York Art Students League operated a summer school in Woodstock from 1906 until 1922 and again from 1947 to 1970. In 1922, the Woodstock Artists Association was formed to coordinate exhibitions during the summer months when the New York City gallery scene was dormant. Chichester was recognized as a prominent student at the Arts Students League and was thought to have served as an instructor there as well as at the Woodstock School of Painting.
Despite the limited number of existing exhibition records, there is substantial evidence indicating that Chichester's works received acclaim from critics during his lifetime. His career, along with the contributions of the Woodstock colonists, was primarily represented by prominent galleries in New York City, such as the MacBeth Gallery, which hosted the inaugural exhibition of the groundbreaking Ashcan School.
Cecil Chichester's artworks remain a testament to the significance of the Woodstock colony within the broader context of American art. His paintings are part of the collections of numerous galleries and museums, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the White House.
