Exhibition-Anna Richards Brewster, American Impressionist
June 21 ? September 7, 2008
Organized by Dr. Judith Maxwell in collaboration with Susan Brewster McClatchy for the Fresno Metropolitan Museum of Art and Science, Fresno California, this innovative and comprehensive exhibition encompasses Anna Richards Brewster?s (1870 ? 1952) works in oil, watercolor, gouache, and pen designs for book-illustration. It brings together paintings and prints from private and public collections to resurrect the reputation of an artist who was one of the best-known American woman artists at the turn of the century, and who at the age of 20, won the prestigious Dodge Prize at the National Academy of Design for the best picture by a woman artist in 1890. Anna Richards Brewster, American Impressionist, seeks to demonstrate Brewster?s historical context and her role as a successful artist at the beginning of the twentieth century, a time when women were just starting to break into the professional and academic spheres of the art world.
