1800-1900, 19th century, from Rochester collections, men, New York State & Local History, paintings, portraits
Painting
Long celebrated as our city’s founder, Nathaniel Rochester (1752–1831) was recently discovered to have bought and sold enslaved people while he lived in Maryland. Not only did Rochester buy and sell enslaved people in the South as a business venture, he continued to own and profit from the labor of enslaved individuals after moving north. In fact, he did so until New York State law made it impossible for him to continue in 1827. This information makes evident how insidious and enmeshed slavery was in the business life of the early nineteenth century, even in the northern states.
Many decades before Kodak gave us the snapshot, a portrait such as this one was a way for a privileged, white person of this period to capture their likeness for posterity. In comparison, the enslaved Black men, women, and children of Rochester’s household did not have their portraits painted. Their names, likenesses, and personal stories went largely unrecorded and most have not survived history—another example of the dehumanization of enslaved individuals during this period of American history.

This portrait was attributed to the German artist Johann Zoffany when it was acquired by Memorial Art Gallery in 1966. Prompted by MAG director Harris Prior, Smithsonian curator Robert Stewart investigated further and came to the conclusion that the American-born portraitist Henry Benbridge was the true artist. Shortly thereafter, this portrait was loaned to an exhibit of Benbridge’s work in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Stewart described it as “one of the nicest of what I call his ‘portraits in the small.’” The elongated forehead, proportionately small body, and decorative plant matter in the foreground are hallmarks of Benbridge’s style.

American art, by Rochester artists, portraits, women
Painting
This portrait is thought to have been painted around the time of the artist’s marriage to fellow painter Emma Lampert in 1897. Colin Campbell Cooper also painted the Gallery’s Main Street Bridge, Rochester. Emma, a Nunda native, attended Wells College in Aurora, New York, and the Art Students League. She taught at Mechanics Institute, RIT’s predecessor, in the early years of the 20th century, and was an active member of the Rochester Art Club. She and her husband were intrepid travelers, and they painted scenes throughout Europe and as far afield as India.

Nathaniel Hurd (1730-1778), silversmith, goldsmith, and engraver, was a member of a distinguished Boston family of silversmiths. In addition to creating a number of silver pieces, he was well-known for his bookplates, which were designed for many distinguished colonial families including Loyalists and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and were based on heraldic motifs (to which they may or may not have been entitled). Hurd also designed a plate for his own family, as well as bookplates for both Harvard and Dartmouth Colleges. The bookplates provide an unusual link to the social and intellectual climate of the times, and literally speak volumes about sociocultural aspirations of eighteenth-century America.
Hurd was a contemporary of Copley’s. This ca. 1765 portrait, Copley’s first to depict a fellow artisan in working costume, had been preceded by an earlier miniature that Copley had painted of Hurd in 1755.

Kathleen McEnery’s artistic career drastically changed course after her marriage to Frank Cunningham and subsequent relocation to Rochester. Early on, she studied in New York City with Robert Henri, exhibited two paintings in the pioneering 1913 Armory Show, and continued her education in Paris. Although she continued to paint, her work consisted primarily of intimate portraits of friends and acquaintances. Marjorie Quetchenbach, one of McEnery’s friends, served as the model for this portrait. The title Mood, however, identifies the moment and personality of the sitter rather than her name.

Kathleen McEnery’s early training as an Urban Realist drew her to depict reality with an uncompromising eye. The artist was about twenty-two years old and living in Paris when she painted this bold and modern woman. McEnery lived in New York, Madrid, and Paris before she moved to Rochester, NY in 1914.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Kathleen McEnery was about twenty-two years old and living in Paris when she painted Woman in an Ermine Collar. She lived and trained in New York, Madrid, and Paris before moving to Rochester in 1914. McEnery played a major role in Rochester’s cultural circles, and painted throughout her life while raising a family with her husband, Francis Cunningham of the Cunningham Car Company.
McEnery’s training with the American realist master Robert Henri drew her to depict with honesty the conditions of modern life. The result is this woman’s unapologetic presence. She is an embodiment of the New Woman – a cultural phenomenon of the growing women’s rights movement, of which the artist was an ardent supporter. The New Woman rebelled against traditional gender roles and was independent, confident, and physically active. As this woman’s dashing manner illustrates, she was equally as comfortable in the public domain as would be any man.
[Gallery label text, 2006]
In New York City, Kathleen McEnery studied with Robert Henri. She also studied abroad and exhibited two paintings at the controversial 1913 Armory Show in New York City. After her marriage to Rochesterian Francis Cunningham, whose family owned the Cunningham Carriage Factory, she continued painting in a studio off the family's home on 10 South Goodman St., now on the campus of the Rochester Museum and Science Center. As Mrs. Cunningham, she was a member of the Gallery's Board of Managers from 1927 through 1971.
The model's direct and intelligent expression and forthright pose suggests the "new woman," ready to be a participant in contemporary society rather than remain at home. Certainly, McEnery herself, who had graduated from Pratt Institute and lived on her own in New York City, fit that description as well.

Until research identifies the sitter, Portrait of a Youth or Portrait of a Young Man may be applied as a more appropriate title.
Unfortunately, the name of this young man was not recorded. The title that the work has carried for many years is further dehumanizing. In the historical moment when this painting was made and exhibited, the term “negro” was commonly used—including by significant African American figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Langston Hughes—to refer to a Black person. Today, however, this terminology is outdated and inappropriate.
John Steuart Curry is known for his narrative and landscape paintings of life in his home state of Kansas. When he painted this luminous portrait, he had just returned from studying art in Paris, France.

Head of a Young Woman is the only silver point drawing in MAG’s collection. It is also the only American artwork that was given to the Gallery by Bertha Buswell, whose taste ran nearly exclusively to European fine and decorative arts. Unfortunately, we do not know anything about how or why she acquired such an anomaly, albeit a beautiful one, for her collection.
Silver point was a technique used extensively in the Renaissance and revived in the United States in the late 19th century. Every line was created by dragging a silver stylus across the surface of a specially-prepared paper. The stylus left a trail of silver on the paper, requiring perfect control by the artist, as this was not a forgiving medium where mistakes could be corrected with an eraser. With exposure to the air, the silver tarnished and created a warm brown tone. Because of the fragility of the silver and the paper, this lovely work is rarely exhibited.

Painting
Around the same time that Thomas Dewing painted this portrait of a young woman reading a book, American art critic Charles Caffin wrote about Dewing's work:
"Generations of repressed emotion have made [Dewing's women] incapable of passion; strenuousness survives only in supersensitive nerves; their sole religion is the worship of self…They are motionless in an atmosphere from which all human warmth has been sucked, in a vacuum drained of intellectual and emotional nourishment. These bodily shapes are not of flesh and blood; they are the essence distilled from the withering of what is womanly, the mere fragrance of dead rose-leaves."
Thomas Dewing's depictions of genteel, ethereal young women engaged in contemplative and artistic pursuits stand in contrast to the bold and vigorous "New Woman," the feminist model of woman who emerged during this same period. The "New Woman" earned a living and wanted the vote and was not content to be marginalized in gauzy environments like the ones created by Dewing.
This painting is in its original frame, which is similar to those designed by Stanford White, who created opulent and decorative environments for many of Dewing's Gilded Age patrons.

From the portfolio "New York Ten"
This work claims to be a self-portrait, although we don't actually see what we typically expect in a portrait - a face. One of the trademarks of Pop Art is the absence of the artist's hand - many of them wanted their work to look machine-made or mass-produced. Pop Art, as well as many other art movements throughout the ages, often prompted the question "What is art?" This work also invites the question "What is a portrait?"
[Gallery label text]
The self-portrait has been redefined by a number of artists in contemporary times. In Dine’s case, the substitution of a bathrobe for the artist’s face is a witty twist on an old theme, simultaneously conveying anonymity and “cozy familiarity,” in the words of one writer. Like Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can, Dine’s bathrobe has become a signature image of Pop art of the Sixties.
In addition to his unconventional approach to self-portraiture, Dine’s printing technique “breaks the rules” as well. Rather than being centered on the paper, the image is asymmetrically placed, which creates a cropped effect.

Rufus K. Dryer was born into a well-to-do Rochester family of politicians and businessmen. Like many aspiring artists of the day, he studied with Robert Henri in New York City. And like many free spirits of means, he soon after moved to France to pursue his career, returning home only three years before his death. Nothing is known of the pensive woman wearing a fashionable cloche and fur whom Dryer painted in tones of blue and peach against a wildly-patterned wallpaper backdrop. This canvas appeared in the artist’s memorial exhibition here at MAG in 1937, shortly after which it was presented to us as a gift from Dryer’s sister, Leora, also an artist.

Thomas Eakins painted multiple portraits of his father-in-law, William H. Macdowell. Eakins’s sensitive portraits and genre scenes defined American realist art at the end of the 19th century. His art and commitment to realism were enormously influential to the artists of the Urban Realist movement.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Thomas Eakins was one of America's greatest painters, whose realistic portrayals of people at work and at play have become icons of American culture. He immortalized many friends and family members by using them as subjects, among them his father-in-law, William Macdowell, an engraver and self-styled philosopher, whom Eakins painted and photographed numerous times. In the Gallery's portrait, Macdowell's aged face, rendered with scrupulous care and detail, emerges from a somber background. In this direct and straightforward manner, Eakins suggests Macdowell's strength of character and distinctive personality.

Attributed to Jefferson Gauntt
American, 1806 – 1864
Sophia Josephine Dixon, born circa 1852 - date of death unknown
Hiram, Angeline and daughter, Sophia Josephine Dixon portraits are not signed or dated. We believe all three were painted by the same artist, Jefferson Gauntt. The Dixon family’s life dates have been obtained through research. Based on these dates we speculate the portraits were painted between 1840 and 1860.
Tombstone, Oct. 2010, Colleen Piccone
A favorite of MAG visitors, the portrait of Sophia Josephine Dixon was conserved in 2006 through a Lower Hudson Conference Conservation Treatment Grant and has been on view in the 19th century American gallery. We are happy to reunite her with her parents, Hiram and Angeline Dixon, whose portraits were conserved in 2008 through the Henry Luce Foundation American Art Conservation Grant. This is the first time that MAG has exhibited the portraits together as a family. They were given to the Gallery by Sophia Josephine’s daughter, Mrs. George B. Penny.
The Dixons’ daughter, Sophia Josephine, holds her pet goldfinch on a string, illustrating her patience and nurturing nature in training a wild bird as her pet. Her white dress with blue ribbon sash, lace pantaloons and straw hat are those of a well-bred young girl from a successful American family. In the early nineteenth century, girls were generally depicted in domestic settings. By 1831, however, “The Mother’s Book” by Lydia Child argued that girls as well as boys would benefit from open air and should be allowed to play outside.
The Dixon family lived north of New York City, first in Hudson, NY and then in Tarrytown, NY.

Painting
Originally from Rochester, the painter and writer Douglas Gorsline attended the Art Students League in New York City and taught at the National Academy of Design. He was profoundly influenced by the artistic styles of cubism and realism. He tended to use fragmented compositions as a means of depicting reality, in particular reality combined with movement.

Painting
Robert Henri, the leader of the Urban Realist movement, sought truth in art above all else. Henri promoted this revolutionary idea in support of a uniquely American art.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
In addition to providing guidance and inspiration (as well as occasional financial assistance) to many artists, Robert Henri was himself a very fine painter. Wherever he taught, he gathered around him eager and enthusiastic students who benefited from his instruction. He moved to New York in 1900 and taught at William Merritt Chase's school for a few years. In 1909, he established his own school, and also taught painting at the radical Ferrer School established by former Rochesterian Emma Goldman.
Although a member of the National Academy of Design, Henri actively promoted non-juried exhibitions and the work of younger, less traditional artists. Dictums such as "Know what the old masters did…They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you" gave his followers the confidence to paint in their own way.
During the 1920s, Henri lived in Ireland and painted a young boy named Tom Cafferty, who was the subject of this painting and a number of others. Characteristically, Henri painted him in a very loose and colorful style, with energetic brush strokes.

In this painting, Ann Lacey (the mother of Pierrepont and Eliza (78.188 and 78.189)) holds a book in her hand. Her traditional pose suggests that she was a cultured and literate individual.
The portraits of the Lacey family were passed down through the generations in the family home in Scottsville, New York, until 1932, when they were presented on the occasion of a marriage and moved to a new home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1978, the generous owners donated the group of family heirlooms to the Memorial Art Gallery, to be enjoyed by its many visitors.

Ann Gennett was born in Kirkland, New York, and her family later moved to nearby Chili. Around 1830, she married Allen Tobias Lacey, son of a neighboring farmer and political associate of her father. She was the mother of Pierrepont and Eliza, whose portraits hang nearby.
In the painting, she is shown holding a small book, a popular motif that suggests literacy and a certain level of affluence.
Ann Lacey died of cancer at the age of 32 and she is buried in the Fellows Cemetery in Chili. Shortly thereafter, Allen Lacey remarried, and in 1847, the family moved west to farm in Marshall, Michigan.
{Excerpted from gallery label text, Oct. 2011, Colleen Piccone, Curatorial}
The Lacey family, whose portraits are on view nearby, lived in this home at 9 Scottsville-Chili Road in Scottsville, New York in the 1830s, where it is believed their portraits were painted and first hung. Two children in this 1890s photograph were relatives of the Lacey family. The girl on the far left was Ruth Hanford (Munn), in whose memory the portraits were given to the Memorial Art Gallery.

M.W. Hopkins painted several portraits of young girls holding flower baskets. Eliza was painted when she was about two, and may have been Hopkins’ youngest and most endearing sitter.
Portrait painting was not Hopkins’ sole occupation; he was also a farmer and ornamental painter who decorated carriages and signs.
Eliza was only five when she died. She is buried in Fellows Cemetery in Chili along with her mother, Ann, whose portrait hangs nearby.

Painting
The Lacey family lived and farmed in Scottsville, New York, a small village south of Rochester on the Oatka Creek. Like many families of means, they used the services of a local artist to have their likenesses painted, since photography as we know it did not exist. For many years, this artist was thought to be Noah North, but recent scholarship points to Milton Hopkins, with whom North probably apprenticed. Painting was not Hopkins' sole occupation. As well, he farmed and was a carriage and sign painter, and was involved in anti-Masonic, abolitionist, and temperance politics.
Pierrepont Lacey was born in 1832, and like many little boys, he probably was not comfortable posing for a painting in his best clothes. The family dog, Gun, most likely didn't stand still for long, either, so it may have been quite a challenge for the artist to capture the likenesses of boy and dog. When Pierrepont was fifteen, his family moved to Marshall, Michigan. He grew up, married, and was the father of one son. Milton Hopkins moved to Ohio shortly after this portrait was painted, where he continued to paint portraits and work for the Underground Railroad.
[Gallery label text, 2000]
Like many young boys, Pierrepont Lacey was probably not comfortable posing for a painting dressed in his best suit and red shoes. Gun, the family dog, was most likely a restless subject for the artist to capture, as well.
There are six known portraits by Hopkins showing children dressed in their finest clothes, often accompanied by their dogs. All of the children’s parents were connected to the artist through their activities in anti-Masonic, abolitionist, and temperance politics.
MAG’s nearly full-size portrait is one of the most engaging likenesses done by Hopkins and has become an American folk art icon.

This print is based on a small painting of Katz's wife, Ada in a Pillbox Hat, 1961. Katz's interest in making images that were of-the-moment is reflected in his use of "modern props". The pillbox hat was made famous and fashionable by First Lady Jackie Kennedy around the time of her husband's presidential inauguration in January 1961.

Based on a 1989 painting by Katz.
Alex Katz says of his artistic influences, "I've got as much Old Masters as I do movies." In Green Jacket, Katz paints himself in the tradition of Baroque court portraiture. As the court painter for the Spanish throne in the 17th century, Velazquez cultivated a style of portraiture that displayed the power, pretension and grace valued at that time. Katz contemporizes his self-portrait by depicting himself in his green athletic jacket; clearly an American man of the late twentieth century.

Alex Katz's ongoing effort to devalue the subject in his art is most visible in his portraits in which the subject is multiplied, with the result that the image contains more in design than it does in content. A sitter's individuality is diminished one further step, a person's unique character is subsumed to the pattern of the whole.

Alex Katz's artistic vision has revised what representational art looks like in the modern world. His portraits, carefully edited of extraneous detail, flattened, cropped, and blown-up to a grand scale, combine characteristics of realism and abstraction in a way that recalls the visual language and scale of advertising billboards and movies.

Based on a 1963 painting by Katz.
This print is based on a very large painting from 1962-63 of the same name. Katz's goal was to create a self-portrait that truly did subvert the traditional genre. "I wanted to see if I could paint one that was not narcissistic, that was not soulful or sentimental." His answer was to create a persona that was aloof, without evident emotional or psychological baggage. This resulted in the Stranger, the figure in this image. According to the artist, the title Passing has double meaning. It refers to the momentary experience of seeing a stranger--anonymous, blank--passing in the crowd, as well as Katz's attempt at passing himself off as that Stranger.

Based on a 1986 painting by Katz.
Alex Katz seeks "self-indulgence in a big art form, rather than self-indulgence in personal feelings." He calls his approach to art a "high style" one that is impersonal, grand, sophisticated, and representative of a specific moment in time, yet timeless. Katz delights in the appearance of faces and bodies divested of meaning or content. He strives to create images that are open to multiple interpretations rather than restricting viewers to a single response or understanding of his work.
Katz's style, or his use of the formal elements of light, color, and scale, is as much the subject of his portraits as are the sitters. His flat, broad areas of color and compressed spaces cause the viewer's eyes to skim over the surfaces of these portraits, never to penetrate in search of an interior life. Katz wants the viewer to experience and value the act of seeing without getting caught up in a search for meaning, as he has stated, "I can't think of anything more exciting than the surface of things. Just appearance."

Based on a 1978 painting by Katz.
This is a portrait of the artist's wife, Ada. Like many artists before him, Alex Katz found his wife a convenient model. Having painted her face more than a hundred times, it has become an aesthetic thread woven throughout his body of work. Katz described Ada as "very malleable…a pretty girl cased in different roles." In fact, we see her throughout Katz's career as she gracefully ages from the time of their marriage in 1958 up to the current day.
Despite Katz's assertion that he is interested in divesting his images of meaning, it is hard for the viewer to avoid searching for emotional content in Katz's repeated portraits of himself and his wife. In traditional art making, portraits (and especially those of oneself and one's significant other) are charged with personal connotations. In addition, it is nearly impossible for us as humans to look at a face at such close range without attempting to ascribe to it some emotional content. Our desire to penetrate the surface of these paintings and Katz's insistence on refusing us that privilege creates a tension between our aesthetic and emotional senses. Katz thwarts our expectations and demands that we think differently about what a portrait is and can be.

Painting
John Koch was a master of the tradition of American realism. His warm, intimate, and elegant New York City interiors glow with light that is reflected by well-polished furniture, floors, and silver.
In this painting, the artist’s wife (piano teacher Dora Zaslavsky) offers a cup of tea to the nude artist’s model, while the artist sits in the background and contemplates his canvas. A variation on the theme of artists and models, Interlude also is an expression of the generosity of human relationships. As one of Zaslavsky’s former students wrote, “…her philosophy of care and concern for the individual student helps shape my teaching to this day.”

The poet John Ashbery and the painter Elaine de Kooning were both members of a group of innovative New York artists that included Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and de Kooning’s husband Willem. Like those of her contemporaries, de Kooning’s aesthetic interests had shifted from traditional representational styles toward the radically new artistic development of Abstract Expressionism. However, the human—and particularly the male—figure still intrigued her; during the 1970s she painted several portraits of friends, including this one of Ashbery.

Walt Kuhn received great acclaim during his lifetime for the bold simplicity and emotional intensity of his paintings of vaudeville and circus performers. Kuhn was also one of the principal organizers of the landmark and pioneering Armory Show of 1913, which introduced the American public to avant-garde European art and helped change the course of painting and sculpture in the United States.

Lachaise's friend, James Sibley Watson, Jr., was a member of MAG's founding family. This remarkably talented individual is best known for his editorship of the avant-garde publication "The Dial," where he worked with literary figures like e.e. cummings and Marianne Moore, as well as his early ventures into motion pictures, including the making of "The Fall of the House of Usher." Watson was married to Hildegarde Lasell Watson, who starred in the film and whose portrait sculpture by Lachaise is also owned by the Memorial Art Gallery (67.11).

Strength and refinement are communicated simultaneously in this elegant portrait of Hildegarde Lasell Watson. She and her husband, James Sibley Watson, Jr., were important figures in Rochester’s cultural history, and were central to an avant-garde salon of writers, artists and musicians during the first half of the 20th century.
The sculpture is enlivened by Gaston Lachaise’s characteristic use of contrasting surface colors.

This painting of a shoeshine boy is a part of a series Luks made of young boys who worked on the streets of New York.
[Gallery label text, 2007
Luks, like Glackens, was originally from Philadelphia and moved to New York City in 1896. He was one of The Eight who exhibited together at Macbeth Gallery in 1908, and his painting of a boy with dice reflects his interest in depicting aspects of life in the lower classes. Here, a boy who looks to be no more than ten is smoking, more than likely earning his own living as a shoeshine boy, and supplementing his income by gambling.
The painting, inscribed To Elizabeth, was given by the artist to his student, Elizabeth Olds, who studied with him at the Art Students League in New York City. Elizabeth Olds was an accomplished printmaker and, like her teacher, believed in the importance of art for all people, not just the upper classes.

Robert Lee MacCameron was celebrated in Europe and the United States for his insightful portraits. He moved to London in 1888, where he worked as an illustrator, before going to Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. There, he studied with the major artists of the day, including Jean-Léon Gérôme and James McNeil Whistler. His portrait commissions ranged from European nobility to prominent American politicians, including Presidents McKinley and Taft. In addition, MacCameron painted scenes and portraits of the diverse ethnic mix that populated American cities at the turn of the century.

Sculpture
In the final decades of the nineteenth century, representations of the American Revolution and its heroes were romanticized. Here, Frederick MacMonnies depicts doomed patriot Nathan Hale (1755 – 1776) moments before his execution by the British as punishment for spying. Hale’s ruffled shirt hangs dramatically open, framing and exposing his bare chest and neck, soon to hold the hangman’s noose. With his arms tied back at the elbow, Hale’s hands are left free to gesture as he uttered his famous last words, “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”

This grand portrait might have been a focal point in Judge and Mrs. Yates’s parlor. Judge Yates built the first steam saw mill in Tioga County, and was justice of the peace and postmaster.
Whether the furnishings, book, and clothing accurately depict the Yates’s possessions is impossible to say. They are meant to convince us of the pair’s position within the local gentry. Yards of satiny fabric held in place by a curtain holdback speak of luxury. Mrs. Yates’s jewelry, lace collar, cuffs and trimmed handkerchief, were the accoutrements of a lady of means. Judge Yates holds a book by English theologian William Paley entitled Natural Theology, a text regularly consulted by well-read gentlemen of the 19th century. While we know very little about Mr. Manchester, the artist, we can safely say that he was familiar with the grand tradition of portraiture that frequently placed subjects within ennobling, but not always authentic, settings.

Painting
Orator, lawyer, statesman, and senator Daniel Webster (1782–1852) was the subject of many portraits, but none more charming than this one, informally titled Dan. Information on the back says the painting was copied from an engraving, which was no doubt itself a copy of an 1840s daguerreotype by F. DeBourg Richards.
Chief curator Marjorie Searl has determined that the original attribution to G. K. Merrick is incorrect. Markings on the back of the portrait were misleading; the signature for Merrick, an attorney in Wellsboro, PA, probably indicated ownership. Another inscription, “painted from an engraving by George Deming, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania,” most likely led to the interpretation that Deming was the engraver and Merrick was the painter. Thanks to the internet and Ancestry.com, we can now safely say that Deming was the painter, and we can speculate that Merrick purchased it from him.

We take for granted the ability to record our families' faces. Even the likenesses of those long-dead are etched in our memories by their photographs. But before cameras and film, the only way to save a "likeness" was to create a life or death mask, draw or paint a picture, or make a sculpture.
In rural New York State, many portraits were done by painters like Ammi Phillips who had a minimal amount of training. Their customers, in turn, passed paintings down through the generations until all too often, the identity of the sitters was lost.
If we don't know whose portrait this was, and if Ammi Phillips was not an academically trained artist, why do we continue to appreciate this work and keep it in a museum? The directness of human spirit that these paintings convey combined with the intricacy of design and patterning create a work filled with the "visual delight" that we search for in a work of art.
[Gallery label text, 2008]
This woman’s identity has not been preserved, but we might speculate with confidence that she was a devout person, as her arm is placed so firmly on the Bible. Notice, too, how carefully the artist painted the fabric of her day-cap, the embroidery on her shawl, and even the tasseled trim of the curtains.

Clayton Pond, a second-generation Pop artist, transformed everyday objects into icons. Color and texture played a key role in his work. His electric color combinations and his experimental technique of adding a layer of high gloss varnish to the surface of his prints create a lustrous effect.

1800-1900, 19th century, by Rochester artists, men, paintings, portraits, views of Rochester & western New York
Painting
The artist of the painting signed the back of the canvas with a flourish “Asahel Powers.” Powers was a self-taught portrait painter who traveled throughout the countryside in search of portrait commissions. Unfortunately, history has lost the name of this dapper gentleman who, we infer by the books and writing cabinet visible behind him, was a learned man of means. His interests and likely profession are further indicated by "The Genesee Farmer" in his hands, a popular journal dedicated to agriculture and horticulture founded in Rochester in 1831.
This portrait broadly tells the story of early Euro-American settlers who were cultivating and living off of the land of the Genesee Valley. It does not capture the story of the Indigenous people who had lived in those lands for hundreds of years prior to the arrival of the European settlers. Coincidentally, this portrait was painted during the infamous Trail of Tears, a brutal upheaval in American history over land rights in which the military forcibly moved over 60,000 Indigenous people (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, Osage, and Seminole, including thousands of their Black slaves) to an undesirable stretch of prairie land, now in Oklahoma. During the forced march, many thousands of men, women, and children suffered and died from exposure, disease, and starvation.

“Now then for a small piece of vanity—Powers, the sculptor, is taking me in clay, to be wrought in marble in Italy next summer. If he does not get a perfect head, it will be his first failure.”
New York Congressman and Canandaigua resident Francis Granger was one of many prominent American politicians to sit for a classical-style portrait bust by Hiram Powers. Many Grand Tourists made Powers’ sculpture studio in Florence, Italy, a stop on their travels, to witness the artist at work, view his latest creations, or commission a personal artwork.
[Label text from It Came From the Vault exhibition, 2013]
Why do portrait busts often have blank eyeballs? Here’s one theory: originally, many ancient Greek and Roman sculptures were painted, including the eyes, but over the years the paint has faded so that by the 19th century, the eyes appeared to be blank. While 19th century artists often modeled their portrait busts of important political figures on these Classical forms, they did not know that the eyes had been painted originally, so they left them blank. Only with current technology has it been possible to understand how the older sculptures actually appeared.
The subject of this sculpture, Francis Granger (1792 – 1868), was born a decade after the American Revolution and died right after the Civil War. A congressman from nearby Canandaigua when he posed for this sculpture in 1837, he said: “Now then for a small piece of vanity – Powers, the sculptor, is taking me in clay, to be wrought in marble in Italy next summer. If he does not get a perfect head, it will be his first failure.”

John Singer Sargent was the most fashionable portrait painter working in England and the United States in the late 1800s. He was not only a gifted artist, but an accomplished pianist and linguist. The novelist Henry James once remarked that London society at the turn of the century saw John Singer Sargent and his friends “…all swimming just now in a sea of music,” with Sargent being “as much a player as a painter.”
The sitter of this portrait, Louise Weiland (c. 1850–1911), was brought up at the court of Dresden, Germany. She married the British singer, composer, and conductor William Shakespeare, one of Sargent’s closest friends, in 1875. Mrs. Shakespeare was best known for the musical salons she held in her London home, which brought together artists, musicians, and members of high society. She was described by her friend Eva Ducat as a quiet woman who “hid brilliant gifts under a gentle, deprecating manner.” According to Ducat, Sargent tried to capture Mrs. Shakespeare’s characteristic wistful expression by telling her sad stories as he painted her portrait.

Raphael Soyer was a prolific realist painter and printmaker whose career spanned most of the 20th century. In 1912 he immigrated to New York from Russia with his family, and the city became his muse.
The actress Maureen Stapleton (1925-2006) was an artist’s model before her film career took off. In her memoirs she wrote that she “worked for Reggie [Marsh] for quite a while. He passed me off to his friend, Raphael Soyer….I was zaftig, and that’s what those guys wanted: a big, blubbery young dame.”

Throughout history, artists have painted portraits of their friends, including friends who are often artists themselves. The young man in this portrait, Clarence J. McCarthy, met the artist Eugene Speicher while both were studying at the Albright Art School in their native Buffalo. The two also studied together at New York City’s Art Students League with the influential teacher Robert Henri. Speicher became an important portrait painter, and McCarthy, a significant illustrator.

A vision of fresh beauty in her portrait, Anne Mumford Palmer lived a life that was hardly placid. Born to a Rochester lawyer and his wife, Palmer moved to New York City after her father became the treasurer of Western Union. She was a good friend of the distinguished American writer Henry Adams and his wife, Clover.
An adventurous marriage to Englishman E. Nelson Fell included draining swamps in Florida to build a British colony called Fellsmere. Four years were spent with their three children on the Siberian steppes where Nelson Fell supervised a mining operation.
When Anne Mumford Palmer, age 22, was painted by Abbott Thayer, newly returned from studying in France, her life lay ahead of her like a limitless ocean. When she sold the painting to MAG founder Emily Sibley Watson in 1930, she was nearing the end of her remarkable journey, and would die seven years later. More remains to be learned about an interesting life.

Douglas Volk was known for his portraiture. This painting of his daughter, Marion, is a nice example of his work.
Volk was the son of Leonard Wells Volk, the sculptor of Life Mask and Hands of Abraham Lincoln (98.37.1-.2a-b) and Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation statuette (2008.29) in the collection of the Memorial Art Gallery. As the child of an artist, Douglas Volk was surrounded by art from an early age. He travelled to Paris as a young man where he studied under the academic painter, Jean-Léon Gérôme. Volk went on to have a long and distinguished career in the United States where he exhibited widely, was the recipient of numerous awards, and taught generations of artists at Cooper Union, the Art Students League, and the National Academy of Design.

Painting
Throughout his career, Jerome Witkin’s dedication to the human form has never wavered. In "Breaking the Pose," Witkin captures the activities within an artist’s studio at a specific moment in time. A figurative painter’s reliance upon a nude model is made evident here, as two women pose for the artist. Modeled after Diego Velasquez’s 1656 portrait of the royal family of Spain, Las Meninas, Witkin elevates the goings on of an artist’s studio and makes a connection across the centuries to one of the most successful and revered Old Master figure painters.
Similarities between the two works include the presence of the canvas and the artist; multiple subjects, all of whom appear to be momentarily distracted by visitors; and the reflections in a mirrored background that extend the scene and pique the viewer’s interest.

Hiram Wesley Dixon, Born circa 1817- died Dec. 1, 1888 (Tarrytown, NY)
Hiram, Angeline and daughter, Sophia Josephine Dixon portraits are not signed or dated. We believe all three were painted by the same artist, Jefferson Gauntt. The Dixon family’s life dates have been obtained through research. Based on these dates we speculate the portraits were painted between 1840 and 1860.
Tombstone, Oct. 2010, Colleen Piccone
The Dixon family lived north of New York City, first in Hudson, NY and then in Tarrytown, NY.
Although painted separately, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon appear to share a couch against a large window through which an elaborate landscape can be seen. Both are dressed in stylish and sophisticated attire. Hiram W. Dixon was the owner of a hardware store in Hudson. In 1856, Mr. Dixon was elected a messenger of the Electoral College to carry the vote to Washington. A newspaper article reported that each year he “predicted the election returns and his selections were as predictable as the Gallup polls.” In 1864, he was a director of The First National Bank of Hudson and in 1866, appointed postmaster of the Hudson post-office.
In 1866, the family became members of the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in Hudson. Mr. Dixon was also involved in real estate and insurance in Tarrytown where there is a street named for him.

Mary Goodrich Burbank, 1863
Born Dec. 28, 1806 - died July 4, 1888 (Rochester, NY)
The artist, William Cogswell, was born in upstate New York and taught himself portrait painting in the 1830s. He worked as a professional artist in New York City and exhibited at the National Academy and the American Art-Union. His best-known work is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the White House Collection. His portraits also include Presidents Grant and McKinley.
The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank were conserved by a Henry Luce Foundation Conservation Grant.
Gallery label, Feb. 2011, Colleen Piccone
The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank provide an unparalleled way of standing ‘face to face’ with early generations of Americans – those people who lived before Kodak gave us the snapshot.
Gideon Webster Burbank was educated in New York City and established a dry goods business in Kendall, NY in 1824. The following year he married Mary Goodrich and she bore eleven children. In 1839, after the Erie Canal was completed, Mr. Burbank started a career in Rochester as a manufacturer of flour at the Frankfort Mills. His mill sent barrels of flour to London as Rochester’s exhibit in the first World’s Fair in 1851. In the late 1850s, he designed and operated the steamer “Fulton” which made trips between Rochester and Buffalo on the Erie Canal. In 1869, he became a partner in the firm of Richardson, Burbank & Company, owners of the New York Flour Mills. He also served as president and director of several banks, and as a trustee of the First Baptist church.
Mr. Burbank was one of the earliest and most generous supporters of the University of Rochester and served on its Board of Trustees for nineteen years. In 1854, when the University was just four years old, he established the “Gideon Webster Burbank Professorship of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy.” His gift of $20,000 was, until that point, the largest single donation and helped inspire confidence in the long-term success of the University. He later suffered great financial loss, but remained proud of his connection to the University, saying “That I have saved.”
The Burbank family plot is located in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Llewelyn Powys (1884-1939) was a British writer. His family was noted for the breadth of the creative accomplishments of its members - painting, architecture, writing, poetry, among other things.
Powys was married to the writer Alyse Gregory, who for several years in the 1920s was the managing editor of The Dial Magazine, a literary and arts journal owned and published by James Sibley Watson, Jr. (son of the founder of the Memorial Art Gallery) and Schofield Thayer.

Justus DaLee, a former professor of penmanship in nearby Palmyra, was an itinerant painter of small portraits, always in profile. By 1840, he was working in Rochester, taking advantage of the population and economic boom that had come with the opening of the Erie Canal 15 years earlier. Nothing is known of the sitter, Mrs. Rachel Tooker, aged 69, of Pittsford. Within a couple of years of painting her likeness, DaLee had moved to Buffalo, where his occupation was listed as “grocer.”
