About the Item

Kathryn E. Cherry Rockport Harbor Signed lower right Oil on canvas board 10 1/2 x 12 inches Kathryn Cherry was an influential St. Louis painter, ceramicist, designer, and art educator in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Originally from Quincy, Illinois, Cherry first came to St. Louis in 1889 to study at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. She subsequently studied under Richard Miller at the New York School of Fine Arts, and under the ceramicist Marshall Fry at Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art. A lifelong learner, Cherry continually refined her craft by collaborating with some of the leading artists of her day, including Arthur Wesley Dow, William Merritt Chase, and St. Louisan Dawson Dawson-Watson, among others. Cherry maintained a commitment to education throughout her career. In 1909, she accepted a teaching position in porcelain decoration at the Art Academy of the American Woman’s League in University City, Missouri. Cherry taught at University City from 1909-1911, some of the University City Pottery’s most prolific years, and came to be recognized as one of the leading educators in ceramic painting and decoration in the United States. In 1915, Cherry curtailed her work in ceramics after Taxile Doat departed the United States. That same year, she succeeded her close friend, noted landscape painter Frederick Oakes Sylvester, as Art Director at Principia College, a position that she held until her death in 1931. Cherry had been a frequent visitor to Sylvester’s summer cottage in Elsah, Illinois, near Principia, where he often invited small groups of friends to paint. During this period, Cherry shifted her focus to oil painting in a distinctive post-impressionist style.
