Philip Little Art
American, 1857-1942
Philip Little was born in Swampscott, MA September 6th , 1857 the son of James Lovell and Julia Augusta Cook. He attended M.I.T. intending to go into business until contracting Typhoid Fever (1875-1876). From 1877-1880 he attended Lowell School of Design at the Institute of Technology and worked in lithograph department of Forbes Lithograph Company of Boston. From 1881-1882 he and Frank W. Benson were students at Boston's Museum School and the following year he exhibited for the first time at the Boston Art Club (April-May) and married Lucretia Shephard Jackson.
Little and Benson lived at 2 Chestnut Street, Salem (MA) beginning in 1886 and they were neighbors in 1931. Little was influenced by the work of Frank W. Benson as much as Benson was of his impressionistic canvases and two often painted outdoors together.
From 1887-1901 Little served in the Massachusetts National Guard attaining the rank of General with the Second Corps Cadets. Civic minded, little he was elected to the Salem Board of Aldermen (1892, 1893), was a member of the School Board (1898-1912) and the Essex Institute.
Little actively exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe and he maintained close ties to all the members of the Boston school of painting. His light-filled landscapes and scenes of New England harbors and wharves, Green Island (Sheepscot River), Maine storms and boating parties, trout streams and lobster fishermen are close in style to that of his life long friend Frank W. Benson. Art Critic A.J. Philpott called Little “one of the best landscape painters in America.”to
