M. Elizabeth Price (1877 - 1965)
Mary Elizabeth Price was born in West Virginia and raised on a farm in Solebury, Pennsylvania, on the outskirts of New Hope. She studied at the Pennsylvania School of Industrial Arts and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Hugh Breckenridge. Additionally, she studied in New Hope with William Lathrop. Following her art studies, Price went to New York. While there, she conducted the “Baby Art School”, a children’s school for painting, in collaboration with Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, from 1917 to 1919.
Her home and studio since the mid-1920s, which she named “Pumpkin Seed” cottage, was situated along the canal and towpath in New Hope. When asked where the name came from, Price replied, “When I first saw the original cottage it was painted such a vivid yellow that I instinctively thought of a pumpkin; it was so small that I named it Pumpkin Seed”.
Coming from a rich artistic background, her one brother was F. Newlin Price, a well-known author, art critic, and owner of Ferargil Galleries in New York City, and her other brother was R. Moore Price, the renowned local frame-maker. Artist Rae Sloan Bredin was married to Alice Price, M. Elizabeth Price’s sister.
Although she painted a variety of subjects, including beautiful impressionist landscapes, Price is best known for her paintings of flowers on backgrounds of gold leaf. She would use a sharp tool to draw her designs on a ground of gilded gesso and then add her richly blended colors with delicate charm. The result would be a breathtaking array of floral radiance. The brilliance of the gold background was varied by her method of using sixteen different tones of gold leaf.
She exhibited with “The Philadelphia Ten” from 1921 until 1945, and was one of the founders of the Phillips Mill Art Association. Price went on to show with many galleries in New York. She had solo exhibitions at Grand Central, Anderson, and the Fifty-fifth Street galleries. She was involved in exhibitions in Palm Beach in Florida, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires. She also exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Carnegie Institute, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the National Academy of Design, the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Her works are hanging in the permanent collections of Swarthmore, Smith, and Dickenson colleges, as well as many other museums and institutions. Along with Fern Coppedge, M. Elizabeth Price is considered one of the most important women associated with the Pennsylvania Impressionists. She remained in New Hope until her death in 1965 at the age of eighty-seven.

"Summer Flowers"

Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 10 #010
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Joseph Barrett (1936 – )
Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf.
A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
