Julie Hart Beers Paintings

1835-1913

Julie Hart Beers Kempson was born in 1834 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She was the sister of two important Hudson River School artists, James McDougal Hart and William Hart. Taught by her brothers and her husband, who was also a painter, Beers became one of the first American-born women to gain recognition as an artist. She moved to New York in the late 1850s and her works were widely exhibited through the latter part of the century in venues such as the Boston Athenaeum, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and National Academy of Design. After the death of her first husband in 1875, the artist remarried and the couple moved to Metuchen, New Jersey. Beers’s art includes many intimate landscapes painted along the Hudson River and in various New England states, as well as fresh, colorful still lifes. William Gerdts made this observation in his 1965 exhibition catalog, Women Artists of America, 1707–1964, that, “Mrs. Julie Hart Beers Kempson became the only woman artist of the century to specialize in the landscape. It is perhaps not surprising to find so few women landscapists since the rigors of painting outdoors and the unseemliness of women engaging in this activity during the Victorian era acted as a deterrent." She died on August 13, 1913.

Vista From West Campton, New Hampshire
By Frederick Williams
Located in Milford, NH
A fine New Hampshire landscape by American artist Frederick Dickinson Williams (1829–1915). Frederick Dickinson Williams was born into a patrician household in Boston, Massachusetts and attended the prestigious Boston Latin School before entering Harvard University in 1846. After graduation and until 1874, Williams taught drawing and painting in the Boston Public School System as a Professor of Drawing until 1874. Williams and his wife, the former Lucia M. Hunt, of Newburyport, relocated to Paris, France, where both studied the new French art and painted landscapes and genre scenes in their studio until 1888, when Lucia died in Paris. Williams returned to the United States and settled in Boston, opening a studio in late 1888. He continued to paint in the Boston area with regular trips to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and other wilderness areas where he produced a large body of French-inspired landscapes in the manner of Corot and other contemporary French painters. In 1904, a serious fire in his Boston studio destroyed all of his inventory, including a number of award-winning canvases from his Paris sojourn. Despite this significant loss, he continued to paint. During his long and successful career, Williams exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Washington DC Art...
