THE KINGSTON DAILY FREEMAN, KINGSTON, N. SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1939. Bolton Brown Left Great Heritage (Continicd from Page Two) technique wu developed to a great extent in London, England, the mott sympathetic prints reveal his for hit native New York state, and fei any event where nature studiei were involved. This fact true, too, as concerns his etchings, his wash drawings, watercolorv paintings and pencil sketches, rcany of which were done while he was professor of art at Leland Stanford University. Jtior to IMS The etchings were done prior to 1893, as were the watercolors, washes and pen and ink drawings.

Notable among these groups are "Mission Bells: Monterey," "The Belfry, Monterey," line and wash drawings; an etching "Self Portrait," also "Pine Trees," "Uncle Allen." a i pencil sketches are 'Theodore Holly," "Wood Interior," the latter done as a boy of 16, and, in 1934, "Carolina Moss," It is difficult to estimate the extent Of Mr. Brown's work, since at one time he destroyed 10,000 drawings. Two paintings which were shown were loaned from the collection of Charles E. Bushnell, of Wilton, N. and were "Moonlight Bathers" and "Sierra Snows." Two others, from the Brown family collection, were portraits, one of his daughter, "Marion," and "Theodora Holly." Ceramics As Avocation In later years, as an avocation, Bolton Brown proved himself master ceramist and he left a valuable collection of pottery, considered by experts as outstanding.

Mr. Brown was an ardent cham- pkm of the student of art who applied himself to his medium. He also detested tobacco. One day at nil Zena studio he presented one of hit visitors, a capable art student, with one of his recently completed bowls. The student fingered it covetously as a gift from the muter and in his preoccupation he flicked the ashes from his cigarette into the bowl.

Quietly Bolton Brown took it from the 'student and dashed it upon the stone flagging before his studio door. It was a bowl, he explained, and, he hoped, a work of art. be Ash trays, had for a he implied, could dime a dozen. Zbrijr tad Later Bolton Brown was born at Dresden on November 27,1865, the son of Edmund Woodward Brown and Martha Day (Coit) Brown. He received the degrees of Bachelor of Painting, 1885; Master of Painting, 1888; and Doctor of Literature in 1920 from Syracuse University.

From 1885 to 1888 he was instructor of drawing at Cornell University. The following year he taught at Buchtel College, Akron, O. In 1890 he was principal of the Government Art School, Toronto, Canada. In 1891 he organized the department of drawing and painting at Leland Stanford University, and was professor at the university from 1894 to 1902. He was Scammon Lecturer in 1929 and teacher of lithography in 1930 at the Art Institute, Chicago, and also at the National Academy of Art in Ou- ago, 1930.

Homes and studios also reflected unconventional tastes and a more primitive than modern "design for living." Askance at Bourgeois Artists looked askance at the bourgeoise and some as nearly as possibly maintained a policy of isolation. The spirit of the colony was stressed at many of its functions and particularly at the famous Maverick Festival. The first major step in the development of Hervey's Maverick "farm" was the building of a music hall in 1916. Concerts were given each week as they are today by internationally famous artists, and they enjoyed a modest but enthusiastic patronage.

A need for immediate cash to pay for a well sunk to a depth of over 500 feet on Mr. White's property, provided the incentive for the first Maverick festival. It was held in 1915. The venture, as Hervey explained, "cost me more money than I made and it finally took me eight years to pay for the darn well." The festival was held each year up until a few years ago and from the funds derived, its originator was able to develop the UKVC1UU me -J natl utatlon tract of land where he now owns CELEBRATION GLASCO, NEW YORK HONOR OF FEAST OF THE ASSU.AIPTION.

"I was interested in the theatre from the beginning only" as an art theatre," Mr.

White explained. "I talked over the idea with Bob Chanler and we went ahead." He found, however, that "most of the show people didn't talk my language and I quit to lease it out to others." An impressive group of artists lived on the Maverick at the time its theatre and the annual festival were most successful and they were making headway in the art world. Numbered among- them were Arnold and Lucille Blanche, Roland Mosseau, John Nichols, Harry Gottleib, Wendall Jones and Austin Blecklem, Tommy Watanabe.

"SWING HI, SWING LO Other areas centered around the village showed more pronounced progress among the artists than the Maverick and soon the world was hearing of works of George Bellows, who was perhapp the greatest painter ever identified with Woodstock. Brook and Bacon Alexander Brook worked in the colony during its earlier days as did Peggy Bacon, whom he later married. Brook is listed among the top group of contemporary American painters, and Peggy Bacon has won fame as both an artist and writer.

Listed also among the earlier group of Woodstockers, whose works have won them top places are Eugene Speicher, Joseph Polet, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, John Carton, Judson Smith, the late Arnold Wiltz, Henry Lee McFee, Ganso, Henry Mattson, Andrew Dasburg and Doris Lee. The late Robert W. Chanler vas long considered one of the most colorful figures in the col- ny and around him centered much of its social activities. Among; Writers Among the writers who lived i the colony were Will Durant, -ho wrote "The Story of Phil- sophy," and in the lighter sense, P. McEvoy, Judson Phillips, 'rank Leon Smith and a group of others.

Henry Morton Robinson, an associate editor of Reader's Digest has a home on the Maverick road not far from Hervey White's studio and Edward Davis Schoonmaker and his wife, Nancy Schoonmaker, still write in a studio down a road which leads off the Maverick turnpike.

Thatcher, who makes about everything in metal for which he gets an order. Woodford Royce is another general craftsman and he has found time for painting.

Hunt Diedrich, who hobnobbed with the late Bob Chanler also turned out designs in metal. Illustrators Attracted Illustrators and commercial artists have also been attracted by Woodstock and John LaGatta, who illustrated for popular magazines frequently works in the colony. Maclelland Barclay Franklin and Hanson Booth, James Montgomery Flagg, Edmund Gruger, have also had their days as Woodstockers and Hanson Booth in his spare time is still working on a home he is building in bluestone at Zena. Cushman Parker, who has done many pictures for' magazines, is classed as a real Woodstocker and has lived in the colony for many years. Other names which have been on the gallery roster for a number of years are Austin Mecklem, Frank London, Bradley Tomlin, Eugene Ludins, Neal Ives, Murray Hoffman, Albert Heckman, Norbert Heerman, Rudolph Tandler, Tode Brower, Paul Burlin Clarence Bolton, John W.

William Harlan Hale, who has published several widely circulated articles and a book, was at one time editor and publisher of the "Hue and Cry." The "Woodstock News" was published as a newspaper in the 1920's. Hervey White' for a number of years published the magazine "Plowshare," which won widespread literary notice. A number of the author's novels also came off the Maverick Press and he also printed special editions of poems.
