Description
Alice Schille (1869-1955), born in Columbus, Ohio, was one of the most-noted artists from about 1900 until the rise of Abstract Expressionism following World War II. She studied at the Columbus Art School, the Art Students League, and Chase School of Art. She lived in Paris where she associated with that city's art elite. She returned to her hometown where she taught at the Columbus Art School until about 1950. But she traveled and painted widely: Gloucester, Massachusetts; New Mexico; Central America; Holland; France; Belgium; England; and North Africa. She received myriad recognitions and awards, including at both international and nation juried exhibitions where she was compared favorably to Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent. She also taught such noted artists as James Roy Hopkins, Clyde Singer, and Ray Kinsman-Water. Yet, she is largely forgotten today, along with numerous women artists who were marginalized as the center of the art universe moved to New York City and favored Abstract Expressionism. In a New Light provides an in-depth study of her remarkable life and career.
