Sears Gallagher (1869-1955) was a prolific, commercially successful American artist proficient in multiple media: drawing, etching, watercolor and oil painting. His work consists largely of landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes depicting his native Boston and northern New England, especially Monhegan Island, Maine. Illustrating magazines and books provided steady work and income, and his etchings and prints attracted popular demand. Gallagher took his art seriously, adapted new techniques, and was open to the influence of European Impressionism. During the height of his career his watercolors were favorably compared to those of Winslow Homer (1836-1910) and F. W. Benson (1862-1910), and his etchings and drypoints to those of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). ==Chronology== 1869 Born in South Boston, 30 April 1887-89 Studied and worked in the Boston studio of Italian-born painter Tommaso Juglaris (1844-1925) 1888 Met and began studying with Samuel Peter Rolt Triscott (1846-1925), English-born painter 1891 Exhibited 4 watercolors at Boston Art Club annual exhibition 1892 With Triscott, made first trip to Monhegan Island, Maine 1895 Married Charlotte Dodge, 16 April 1895-96 Studied at Academie Julian in Paris 1897 Settled in West Roxbury, MA 1903 Travel and painting in England, France, Italy 1904 Son Bradford born, 13 June 1906 Daughter Katherine born, 13 November 1945 Last one-man exhibition at Grand Central Galleries, New York 1955 Died in West Roxbury, MA, 9 June 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sears Gallagher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
