Sarah Ball Dodson epub Catalogue Museum the Harvard of Paintings By Sarah Ball (Classic Reprint)

Philadelphia, Sarah Paxton Ball Dodson was the daughter of Richard Whatcoat Dodson, a talented amateur of this city. It was in Philadelphia, too, under Christian Schussele, for many years an Instructor in the Pennsylvania Academy Schools, that in 1872 Miss Dodson first began the serious study of painting, an art for which she had shown strong predilection from her very early childhood. Continuing her study in Paris she worked for three years under Evariste yital Luminals and later under Jules Lefebvre, enjoying also the privilege of criticisms from Boutet de Monvel. Carrying all through her life the handicap of delicate health which caused frequent interruptions in her work. Miss Dodson continued to paint until the very day of her death, January 8, 1906. In the later years of her life Miss Dodson resided at Brighton, England, in which town, in the Corporation Art Gallery, most of the works in this exhibition were shown in October, 1910. They were also, in January, 1911, exhibited in the Goupil Galleries in London; but the present is the first showing in America of her collected works. Beginning with LAmour Mntrier, first exhibited in the Paris Salon in 1877, and concluding with The A nnunciation, the last work of the artist, left unfinished at her death, the present collection covers a creative period of twenty-nine years and in itself emphasizes more strongly than can any written word the variety of artistic impulse of the painter, her sympathetic understanding of many schools and her continuing purity of vision and felicity of imagination.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of histori
