Chase, William Merritt |
|
Chase, William Merritt (1849-1916). American painter. He settled
in New York in 1878 after five years studying in Munich and became the
most important American teacher of his generation. He taught at the Art
Students' League of New York and then at his own Chase School of Art, founded
in 1896. The vigorous handling and fresh color characteristic of much of
the best American painting of the early 20th century owes a good deal to
his example. His pupils (whom he encouraged to paint in the open air) included
Demuth, O'Keefe, and Sheeler. Chase was a highly prolific artist (his output
of more than 2000 paintings included still lifes, portraits, interiors,
and landscapes), and his work is represented in many American museums.
