About James Stuart:
Stuart (1852-1941), the grandson of Gilbert Stuart, was born near Dover, Maine but relocated to San Francisco where he studied art between 1868 and 1878 under such painters as Raymond Yelland, Virgil Williams and William Keith. From there he established a studio in Portland, Oregon and another in Tacoma, Washington in 1891. In 1894 he exhibited three watercolor landscapes and an oil at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Stuart spent fifteen to twenty years in Chicago before moving back to San Francisco in 1912 where he established a studio on Union Square. At the Art Institute of Chicago Stuart showed Evening near Mount Tacoma (1895), Napa Valley, California (1896), and Sunset on Mount Tacoma, from Puyallup River, Washington and Dreamy Day, Sacramento Valley (1897). Later Stuart exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists (1918-21). Edan Milton Hughes writes that by 1900 Stuart was "a nationally famous painter and was highly successful in merchandising his own work."It is reported that Stuart painted over 5,000 works. |
