Hervey White (1866–1944) was an American novelist, poet, and community-builder. He was one of the original founders of the Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock, New York, then went on to create a more radical artists' colony, the Maverick. Both Byrdcliffe and the Maverick are part of what is today called the Woodstock Art Colony. == Before Woodstock == White was born in Iowa and raised on a Kansas farm. A scholarship to Harvard University, where he read the works of the socially conscious art critic John Ruskin (1819–1900), solidified his burgeoning libertarian ideals.〔Tom Wolf, "Hervey White's Maverick Colony and Its Artists", in ''The Maverick: Hervey White's Colony of the Arts'', exh. cat. Woodstock: Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, 2006, pp. 11–12.〕 Pinpointing White's anti-patrician identity, artist and Byrdcliffe cofounder Bolton Brown (1864–1936) would describe White as "far prouder of hailing from a ranch in Kansas" than from Harvard.〔Bolton Brown, “Early Days at Woodstock,” published posthumously in 1937, reprinted in ''Bolton Coit Brown: A Retrospective'', exh. cat. New Paltz: Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, SUNY, 2003, p.74.〕 After graduating and traveling through parts of Italy, White moved to Chicago and worked for Hull House, a settlement that provided a creative and educational environment for poor residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. In its spirit of democratic cultural outreach, Hull House acted as a model for White's Maverick Colony. While at Hull House, White wrote his first novel, ''Differences'' (1899).
