William Merritt Chase

Artist

William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) was born in Indiana and studied in New York before spending six years at the Munich academy in the 1870s. Back in New York he set up a famously lavish studio on Tenth Street and became one of the most influential art teachers in America, at the Art Students League, at his summer school at Shinnecock on Long Island and at the Chase School, which later became Parsons School of Design; Georgia O'Keeffe and Edward Hopper were among his students. His own work moved from dark Munich realism to bright, Impressionist portraits, interiors and seaside scenes. We print his Portrait of Miss Dora Wheeler (1883) from the Cleveland Museum of Art and Alice (1892), a portrait of his daughter, from the Art Institute of Chicago.
