Some of America's most influential artists of the late 19th and
early 20th centuries are featured in this guide, along with a
concise overview of the colonies in which they worked. These
colonies ranged from Carmel-Monterey in California to
Gloucester-Rockport in Massachusetts to Taos and Santa Fe in New
Mexico. Some of the artists are famous today, such as Georgia
O'Keeffe, while others were well known at the time and added to the
name recognition of their particular colonies. Scholars, students,
and anyone interested in American Art History will find valuable
information on how the closeness of colonies can affect and
influence artists. For most artists, interest in art colonies began
in the mid-1800s in Europe, where they had gone to live, work, and
study. On returning to America, they continued what they believed
was a practice that benefited their personal maturity as
professional artists-living in a major city such as New York during
the winter and spending summers with other working artists in art
colonies. The impact of those early artists can be seen in the
paintings of many of today's artists.
