James Brade Sword Landscape Paintings
American, 1839-1915
Philadelphia artist, James Brade Sword studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and with George Washington Nicholson, noted Philadelphia landscapist. Sword visited Conanicut Island, Rhode Island in 1881 and spent summers there, painting along the shoreline. Long Pond on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusettts, is the rare and breathtaking view depicted here, painted at the tranquil moment of dusk. Sword exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1876-1906), in the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 and was founder of the Art Club of Philadelphia, president of the Philadelphia Society of Artists, and the Artists' Fune Society. His work is in numerous public and private collections.to

Willis Seaver Adams was known for his landscapes of the Connecticut River Valley. A relative recluse for much of his artistic life, his loneliness can be seen in much of his works. Oil miniatures were the focus for almost all of his later works. He is credited with over 425 oils, watercolors, and drawings.
Willis Seaver was born in 1844 on a farm in Suffield, near the Connecticut River. He intermittently attended the Suffield Academy, and always wanted to be a painter. A wealthy doctor became his patron, and financed his studies in 1868 at the Royal Academy in Antwerp. When the doctor passed away, Adams returned home and struggled to make a living painting. After working for a photographer for three years, he opened his own studio.
Adams helped organize Cleveland's first watercolor exhibit in 1876. Soon thereafter, he completed a portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes, then governor of Ohio, prior to his becoming President of the United States. This portrait enhanced Adams notoriety.
In 1878, Adams traveled to Italy where he opened a studio in Venice, and became friendly with neighbor James Whistler. Prior to returning to Springfield, Adams lived in Florence, Italy for three years. He returned to became an instructor for the Springfield Art Association, and began to exhibit his works at the galleries of James D. Gill. His first one-man exhibit was held there in 1894. Other successful exhibitions took place in Chicago, New York, and Boston. Although his works garnered respectable prices and reflected his success, Adams felt he was due more recognition.
In 1906, he moved to Greenfield, Massachusetts and converted a barn into a studio. There, he fell into relative obscurity, accompanied mainly by his dog, Collie. In 1921, Adams passed away.
Examples of Willis Adams works can be seen at the Kent Memorial Library, the Wadsworth Atheneum, and the Suffield Academy. Several Suffield residents are thought to own Adams paintings.
