S. George Phillips Art

American, 1890-1965

A magazine illustrator early in his career for McCalls and Ladies Home Journal, Samuel George Phillips later devoted himself to portraiture and landscape painting as part of the Pennsylvania Impressionist School, artists who painted in Bucks County after 1915 and were much influenced by Daniel Garber. Of this group, it was written that the earlier Bucks County/New Hope style of Impressionism had been diluted by modernist influences and that "Generally these painters were not as original or creative as the earlier painters, and in fact their work was highly derivative of the art that preceded them in Bucks County." (Folk 31) However, Phillips, a student of Garber's at the Pennsylvania Academy, was described as one of three Garber students whose work "best represent his influence in Bucks County. . . . His work represents some of the finest adaptations of Garber's style." (Folk 102) Other teachers who were influences on Phillips' mostly traditional style were William Merritt Chase, Cecilia Beaux, and Hugh Breckenridge. But judging by his painting, Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania (circa 1920), Phillips did some experimentation with modernism as the work was described as having "an energetic all-over pointalist technique. The entire canvas is composed of tiny brightly colored dots and dashes of pigment." (Folk 102) Samuel George Phillips had studios in New York City, Philadelphia, and also lived in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Memberships included the Philadelphia Art Club. The Pennsylvania Academy was an exhibition venue for the years 1913, 1920-24, 1932 and 1937. He also exhibited work at the Corcoran Gallery and the National Academy of Design.

Illustrated in "New Hope for American Art" by Jim Alterman and "The Philadelphia Impressionists" by Thomas C. Folk, pg, 102, plate 45 S. George Phillips (1890 - 1965) Regarded by some as “a poor man’s Garber” (“poor” needing to be redefined these days), S. George Phillips painted rich and colorful landscapes depicting views of the Delaware River and the environs surrounding New Hope. An extremely competent artist, Samuel George Phillips was born in Pennsylvania in 1890. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under William Merritt Chase, Cecilia Beaux, Hugh Breckenridge, and Daniel Garber. He then traveled to Europe to continue his studies. Phillips began his career as an illustrator and commercial artist. His work appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, The Ladies’ Home Journal, McCall’s, and The Liberty Magazine. His best known work as an illustrator was the Santa Claus logo he designed for the Whitman Candy Company. Around 1915, Phillips established a portrait studio in Philadelphia. Soon he was to become one of Philadelphia’s pre-eminent portraitists, painting many prominent socialites, politicians, and academicians. For fifty years, he commuted from his home in Atlantic City to his Philadelphia studio. Like many artists, painting was Phillips’s livelihood and although landscape painting was his passion, the bills were paid by money earned for commissioned portraits and illustration work. Phillips found portrait painting to be stressful and landscape painting to be relaxing, and as a result, he would frequently spend weekends in Bucks County, taking part-time residence at the Point Pleasant...
