Louise Upton Brumback
Louise Upton Brumback (January 17, 1867 – February 22, 1929) was an American artist and art activist. Known principally for her landscapes and marine scenes, her paintings won praise from the critics and art collectors of her time.〔〔〔 Writing at the height of her career, a newspaper critic praised her "firmness of character, quick vision, and directness of purpose." She said these traits "proved a solid rock upon which to build up an independent art expression which soon showed to men painters that they had a formidable rival."〔 As art activist, she supported and led organizations devoted to supporting the work of under-appreciated painters, particularly women.
==Early life==
On finishing high school in the late 1880s, Louise Upton Brumback first looked to a career in music, but soon turned her attention to painting.〔 Her desire to become a professional artist may have been influenced by stories she had heard about her great uncle, William Page, a highly regarded artist who had held the office of president of the National Academy of Design in the early 1870s.〔 She undertook formal study at the age of 33 when she attended William Merritt Chase's school for plein air painting held in the summer months at Shinnecock Hills, Long Island.〔〔〔
She subsequently studied for a short time at Chase's New York School of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, but principally developed her personal style through close study of the work of other artists both in New York and during travels within the United States.〔〔〔 In 1923 she told an interviewer that she sought formal instruction only to learn good technique, believing that the best art showed the artist's individuality and skill of self-expression. She said painting such art cannot be learned in schools. "The great ones," she said, "won't teach their secrets, and the little ones have none to teach".〔
In pursuing her career, she obtained the unswerving support of her husband, whose success in the law permitted him to retire at an early age. This support gave her freedom to develop her talent unimpeded by financial need.〔 Her own "firmness of character, quick vision, and directness of purpose" assured that she would apply herself intensely, with courage and originality in making paintings that would quickly be recognized for their "clear, forceful rendering, good drawing, and fine color work".〔
