Philip Wilson Steer was born at Birkenhead on December 28th, 1860. He was the son of Philip Steer, a painter of portraits and a teacher of painting. The Steer family moved to Apsley House, Whitchurch, Monmouth, when Wilson Steer was three years old and he lived there for 17 years attending the Hereford Cathedral School and, when he was about 18, he was studying drawing and painting under John Kemp at the school of art at Gloucester. He failed to enter the Academy Schools and went to Paris in 1882, studying first at Julian’s under Bougurean and later, in 1883, at the Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. He exhibited two works at the academy: Fantaisie, the head of an Italian girl and Discovery, a painting of a woman with a mask, which the artist later destroyed. The grafting of French Impressionism on English stock has, perhaps, been Steer’s chief contribution to art in paintings from Wilson, Gainsborough, Turner and Constable and has been worthily continued to our days. It is interesting that the real impetus towards this only came to him later than his residences in Paris in 1882–83, through the exhibition at Dowdeswell of the works of Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. As a result of the French training of British artists, Scottish and English, in 1886 the New English Art Club, of which Steer had been for more than 30 years a cornerstone, was inaugurated, Steer contributing one oil painting, Andante.

Coreen Mary Spellman (1905 - 1978) Dallas Artist Image Size: 20 x 14 Frame Size: 25 x 19 Medium: Oil Bio: Exhibited in the Ninth Annual Student Art show at the State University of Iowa Coreen Spellman Biography Coreen Mary Spellman (1905 - 1978) Coreen Mary Spellman was a fine-art teacher as well as a painter, designer, illustrator, lithographer and muralist. Many of her paintings depicted human-made structures and industrial landscapes in a style combining realism, precisionism and abstraction. Often the central subject such as in "Railroad Signal" was the only suggestion of humanity against a backdrop of stark Texas landscape. Of her painting these isolated subjects she said: "I enjoy taking some rather obscure or unimportant subject or theme and making something fine and important out of it . . . It always gives me great pleasure to discover something which has been passed over as being inadequate material". (Trenton 199) Spellman was born in Forney, Texas in 1905. At an early age she moved to Dallas, Texas and studied under Vivian Aunspaugh before attending the College of Industrial Arts (Texas Woman's University). She received a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University and a Masters Degree from the University of Iowa, Iowa City in 1942. In addition, Spellman received a Carnegie Scholarship for study at Harvard University, followed by studies with Kenneth Hayes Miller, Vaclav Vytlacil, and Charles Wheeler...
