About the Item

Grace Hill Turnbull Laughing Waters, 1925 Signed lower right, titled on verso Oil on canvas 26 x 37 inches Provenance The artist Catonsville Community College, Catonsville, Maryland (acquired from the above in 1968) Born to a cultured, well-to-do family in Baltimore, Grace Hill Turnbull studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Art Students League of New York. Turning her attention to sculpture, she studied at the Rinehart School of the Maryland Institute and in Rome. Besides her artistic pursuits she wrote a number of books, including Tongues of Fire (1929) and Fruit of the Vine (1950). Her autobiography Chips from My Chisel was published in 1953. Turnbull also wrote pamphlets and contributed articles to a variety of publications. One example is the eight page pamphlet, Battle Front as Seen by a Sculptor, published by the Women's International League in 1936. Turnbull's 1941 sculpture, Python of India, is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while two of her public artworks, a memorial to Lizette Woodworth Reese and a statue of a naiad, remain in Baltimore. A collection of her papers is held at Syracuse University. Her house at 223 Chancery Road in the Guilford neighborhood, which she had willed along with a collection of artworks to the Maryland Historical Society, still stands. Her work was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1996.
