OLIVE PARKER BLACK, 1868-1948
Birth: 1868 (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Death: 1948
Lived/Active: New York
Often Known For: landscape, still life
An accomplished landscape painter, Olive Black was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She studied art with Hugh Bolton Jones at the Art Students League and with William Merritt Chase and Edwin Blashfield at the New York National Academy of Design in New York. She was considered one of Chase's best students, also attending the Shinnecock Summer School of Art (which became known as Chase's school and was primarily attended by women).
Black became best known for painting landscapes of the eastern United States, from Maryland to West Virginia and north to the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. Her landscapes fuse the influences of the Hudson River
School with the free brushwork of impressionism. The Barbizon influence of her mentor Hugh Bolton Jones also echoes strongly in her work. Seasonal effects, as well as the light and time of day are depicted in her pastoral and rural scenes.
She exhibited at the National Academy of Design from 1897 to 1930 and also exhibited in Boston and Philadelphia. To 1910, she lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts and then moved to New York City where she exhibited at the National
Academy of Design from 1897 to 1930. She also exhibited with the Boston Art Club, the Art Club of Philadelphia and the Carnegie Institute.
Black lived in New York City, then in Cambridge, and retained a summer home in South Egremont. She was a member of the National Association of Women Artists, the New York Society of painters, American Artists Professional League and the Copley Society in Boston. http://www.mfordcreech.com/Olive_Parker_Black_Winding_Stream.html
