William Ashby McCloy Art
American, 1913-2001
William Ashby McCloy lived in Nanjing and Shanghai, China, until the age of 13, returning to the United States in 1926. He received his first training in art at the State University of Iowa in 1930 and graduated with a BA in Art. McCloy spent one-year at Yale School of Fine Arts before returning to Iowa for graduate study in Psychology of Art, receiving an MA in 1936. At Yale, he studied painting with Eugene Savage and back at Iowa, studied printmaking with Mauricio Lasansky, sculpture with Humbert Albrizio and also painting with Eugene Ludens. In 1937, McCloy became an Assistant Professor of Art at Drake University for two years. In 1939, he moved to the University of Wisconsin and remained until 1948. McCloy was Mural Assistant to John Steuart Curry on three murals and executed two major mural commissions himself (1939–43). He spent 1943–46 in the US Army, where he served as a Clinical Psychologist. Returning to State University in Iowa, he received an MFA in Painting in 1949 under the G.I. Bill and again later a Ph.D. in Art History in 1958. Between 1950–54, McCloy was Director of the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, leaving there to take over as Chairman of the Art Department at Connecticut College, retiring as Professor of Art emeritus in 1978. McCloy exhibited at The Chicago Art Institute, the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum, the Walker Art Center, the Library of Congress, the Joslyn Memorial Museum, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Toronto Art Gallery and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. He painted murals for Truax Field, the Wisconsin State Historical Society and the University of Manitoba. His sculpture is at Connecticut College, the Norwich Free Academy and the Public Library of New London. His work is included in the permanent collections of The Library of Congress; Wolfsonian Institution, Miami, Florida; the Slater Memorial Museum Norwich, Connecticut as well as numerous public and private collections. His work is illustrated in American Expressionism: Art & Social Change by Bram Dijkstra.

Artist Bio:
Christine Walters Martin (1895-1982)
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Christine Martin majored in art at Columbia University/Teachers College. She spent summers painting at the Woodstock Art Colony under the tutelage of artists there and continued her art studies at the Art Student's League in New York City. Over the years, her teachers included John Sloan, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Alexander Brook and John McFee. She also studied with Eugene Speicher, who recommended her for Portraits Inc, through which some of his own commissions came. Much later in life, in her 80s, Christine studied watercolor with Zoltan Szabo.
Before marrying attorney George Martin in 1923, she taught art in the New York public schools for several years. During summers in the late 1920s, after having two daughters (Cynthia, 1924-2008, and Joan, 1927-2000), she went to Woodstock with her girls in tow, staying at the Hasbrook farm. In 1930, she and her husband purchased a stone house on Ohayo Mountain Road and lived there seasonally for 25 years. Among her closest artist friends in Woodstock were Emil Ganso, Florence Hardiman, Albert Heckman, Peggy Dodds, Joe Rollo, Henry Mattson, Mary Ellen Early, and Maud and Miska Petersham, along with Juliana Force (Whitney Museum). During many summers in Woodstock, Christine's daughters Cynthia and Joan kept up their serious piano studies under the tutelage of Vladimir Padwa and Inez Carroll.
Known for portraits and landscapes, she was a member of the National Association of Women Artists and the National Arts Club, Gramercy Park, NY. Her work showed at the National Arts Club, Weyhe and Preston Galleries and the National Academy of Design in New York; the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia; the Woodstock Art Association and Rudolf Galleries in Woodstock, Vermont's Dawson Grist Mill Gallery, and South Hampton College, among others. Her portraits, landscapes and still lives hang in hundreds of homes around the world.
