Martha Dewing Woodward
Martha Dewing Woodward (1856-1950) was a noted artist and art teacher. According to the obituary that appeared in the July 14, 1950 New York Times, she was “one of the nation’s leading painters.” Among her accomplishments, she founded the first art colony in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1896. In 1907, Woodward and her partner, Louise Johnson, founded the noted Blue Dome Fellowship in Shady-in-the-Catskills, New York, which Woodward continued in Florida later on.
Woodward studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia and the Academie Julian in Paris. In addition to teaching at her summer art schools, Woodward taught art at the Female Seminary in Lewisburg (later Bucknell University), the Women’s College of Baltimore (later Goucher College), the School for Ethical Culture in New York City, and the University of Miami, Florida. Woodward was active in the art world through painting and volunteering until her death in 1950.
== Early Years ==
(Martha) Dewing Woodward was born on June 6, 1856 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of the eight children of John Vanderbilt and Wealthy Ann York Woodward. Her grandfather, Apollos Woodward, served as an aide to George Washington during the Whiskey Rebellion. Their home, called Springside, located at 721 Fifth Avenue, Williamsport, was originally a log house before being enlarged in 1845. The Woodwards added a studio above the kitchen to the Southern style home for Woodward to use as a studio. Woodward researcher, Ralph Rees, believes that the young Woodward taught art lessons from this home studio. Woodward began painting from a young age, and at eleven years old. A portrait she painted of her father was praised for its skillful and mature style. Woodward attended the Hattie Hall Seminary for Young Ladies in Williamsport. She later attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the Academie Julian in Paris with Robert Fleury, Jacques Blanche, and Jean Francois Raffaelli. At age 26, Woodward was appointed art professor at the (Female Institute of the University of Lewisburg ) (which later became part of Bucknell University). As the only art professor at the Female Institute, she taught 28-35 students in classes ranging from drawing to inks to china decoration to tapestry. In 1889, she became head of the art department at the Women’s College of Baltimore (later Goucher College) and served as principal of Goucher’s School of Art from 1891-92. Branching beyond teaching art, Woodward was also a member of the (Baltimore’s Water-Color Club ) and Charcoal Club of Baltimore.
