Born in 1876 in West Hartford, Connecticut, Edith Dimock was the daughter of a wealthy New England textile manufacturer. She began her artistic career at the New York Art Students League where she studied for four years before working with William Merritt Chase at his New York School of Art. Most likely introduced by a mutual friend in the Robert Henri circle, she married fellow artist William Glackens in 1904 in her family's Vanderbilt Hill mansion. As a wedding present, Robert Henri painted portraits of the bride and groom.
Dimock’s work, similar to the artistic and social concerns of The Eight, expresses spontaneity and an interest in the gritty realism of life. Her works were shown in 1908 with seven other painters at the Macbeth Galleries at the Ashcan School. Dimock exhibited at the New York Armory Show of 1913, where she showed eight works, all of which were purchased from the Armory Show.
Dimock was an honorary secretary of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in 1911 and 1915. In 1913 she marched in the large suffrage parade in New York, along with a group of other artists.
Unfortunately, much of Dimock’s output is lost. After Glackens died in 1938, Dimock was so grief-stricken that she destroyed as much of her own work as she could. Anything surviving had been sold, given to other people, or was overlooked. What survived – a body of work consisting of a couple paintings, about sixty known watercolors, and reproductions of forty-eight book illustrations – reveals a master of the watercolor medium with a fresh vision fixed on the humorous, whimsical aspect of the urban scene.

- "Julie Hyneman at Central Park, New York City, " Herman Hyneman, Gilded AgeBy Herman HynemanLocated in New York, NYHerman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) Julie Hyneman at Central Park Oil on canvas 25 x 20 inches Signed lower left Herman N. Hyneman was a noted American portrait and figure painter with ties to both Philadelphia and New York. He was born July 27,1849 to Leon and Adeline Hyneman in Philadelphia. ("Who Was Who in American Art" lists his birth date as either 1849 or 1859, but we have confirmed that the birth date is 1849). Virtually nothing is known about his early years, but given the fact that the family resided in a wealthy section of Philadelphia and the fact that he traveled to Paris to study in the studio of Leon Bonnat when he was but 20 years old, it is presumed that the family was financially comfortable if not well to do. Hyneman exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879 and 1881, which was quite an accomplishment given his tender age. He returned to the United States in 1882 and after a year in Philadelphia, he established a studio at 58 West 57th Street, New York, NY, where he painted portraits to support himself and scenes of beautiful fair-skinned women walking in the snow to exhibit at major exhibitions throughout the United States. Hyneman exhibited at the the Brooklyn Art Association in 1882, 1883 and 1884 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1883 and 1888. Beginning in 1882 and continuing up until 1905, he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Despite the fact that he exhibited fourteen paintings at the National Academy over a span of three different decades, he was never elected as a member. In the 1880's his paintings sold for between $100 and $1500, which were substantial sums for that period. Hyneman also exhibited at the Salmagundi Club and the Philadelphia Art Club and was a member of each organization. He won a medal at the American Art Society in 1904 and also exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. A handwritten label on one of his paintings indicates that he also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary. In 1892, Hyneman married the noted artist Juliet Jolley (aka Jolly), who had previously modeled for him. Thereafter, they shared a studio and on at least one occasion exhibited together. The February 5, 1896 edition of the "New York Times" reported on a "pleasant studio reception" at 58 West 57th Street where the paintings of both Herman and Juliet were shown to members of New York Society including Mr. And Mrs. Edwin Blashfield. At least one of Hyneman's Painting " A Sensation on Wall Street" which depicted a lovely young woman in fur coat with Muff in front of the Stock Exchange, was made into a post card and reproductions of his paintings are known to exist, although not plentiful. At least one etching is known, "Desdemona," which was reproduced in a book by Frederic Stokes. Herman Hyneman...Category
