Reynolds Beal Art

American, 1867-1951

Known as one of the early American Impressionists, artist Reynolds Beal was born in 1867 and studied at Cornell from 1885–89 with a focus on naval architecture. His formal art training would come later as he studied under William Merritt Chase at Chase's school in Shinnecock, Long Island, in 1896.

Beal's love of yachting resulted in paintings of maritime scenes from Rockport to the Hudson, as well as the Caribbean, from his own sailing boat that doubled as his studio. His first solo exhibition took place at the Clauson Gallery in New York City in 1905. In 1917 he was a founding member of the Society of Independent Artists. Beal was one of the few Americans chosen to have their work exhibited at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris in 1919.

Beal was a member of the Salmagundi Club, the American Watercolor Society, the Society of American Engravers, the National Arts Club and was elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design. He also founded the New Society of Artists, which consisted of 50 of the most influential painters of that time, among them, Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, George Bellows and William Glackens.

TL91.63 Note: Arvest Gallery published catalogs of American Art between 1973 and 1988 Reynolds Beal (1866-1951) Early life and career The elder brother of painter Gifford Beal, Reynolds was born in New York City. He and his brother Gifford spent their summers at Wilellyn in Newburgh, New York, on the Hudson River, and together they would later design the gardens at Wilellyn. His father was William Reynolds Beal, whose brother Thaddeus owned Echo Lawn, not far away. Beal was a man of independent means, and was thus able to devote his life to his art without having always to appeal to the tastes of his patrons or to contemporary trends. Beal showed artistic ability from an early age, but temporarily postponed his creative interests to enroll at university. He first studied at Cornell University (naval architecture), where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and the Irving Literary Society. Beal painted and sketched in and around Cayuga Lake. His home haunts of the East River were the first subjects of his work; in Sibley Hall’s drafting bays he learned further technique as a budding naval architect. Although the “Sibley time” constitutes his first artistic experience, it was not until the years following graduation that Beal became serious about a painting career. Painting Beal spent 1901 at sea, and worked up his sketchbook entitled Cruising Aboard U.S.S. School Ship St. Mary's (1901), He kept scrapbook pages of marine etchings...
