William Trost Richards
William Trost Richards was born in Philadelphia on November 14, 1833. He studied in Philadelphia with Paul Weber in 1850 and possibly at the PAFA, CA, 1852, before studying in Florence, Rome and Paris from 1853–56. Richards worked as an illustrator and as a designer of ornamental light fixtures for a Philadelphia firm that produced gas lamps while studying privately the techniques of painting with German taught landscape-portrait painter Paul Weber (1823–1916). In 1852, he exhibited his first landscapes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and in 1853 some of his romantic drawings appeared in the portfolio, The Landscape Feeling of American Poets. By 1855, Richards and marine-landscape painter William Stanley Hasseltine (1835–1900) sailed for Dusseldorf, where Richards studied with Leutze and Albert Bierstadt, the latter of whom inspired Richards. After painting landscapes in oil in France and Italy, Richards married and returned to Germantown. Enthused by the works of Frederick Edwin Church and John Kensett by 1856, it was Church's use of light and atmosphere that Richards began to imitate and two years later he was painting outdoors. In 1866, Richards traveled to England and his focus turned from landscapes to marine painting. A year later, a storm at sea caught the painter's attention, and he began to study the structure of waves and how weather affects the sea and shore. He died in Newport, Rhode Island, on November 9, 1905.

- William Thon Olive Trees Abstract Expressionist Oil on Board Landscape PaintingLocated in Dayton, OHMid 20th century oil on board landscape painting by William Thon, titled "Olive Trees," No. 850. Shows an abstract expressionist forestscape with black trunked trees with green and white leaves over a golden forest floor. Signed lower right corner. Rustic wood frame with red stained recessed bevel and white linen mat. Labels on reverse from Midtown Galleries (New York, New York), Frost Gully Gallery (Portland, Maine). Exhibited at The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (Ogunquit, Maine) - "Creative Lives" July 1 - September 30, 1996. "William Thon (1906-2000) was an American artist noted for highly abstracted landscape paintings. He debuted as a professional artist in 1939 at the Corcoran Gallery Biennial* exhibition. He was born in New York City in 1906, and spent his childhood summers camping on Staten Island. He also developed a great love of travel, and in 1933 made an eight-month voyage to the Cocos Islands in the Pacific. He joined the Navy during World War II, and shortly after the war won the Prix de Rome*, a fellowship in Rome to the American Academy,* which he later served as trustee. Recognition for him continued with his participation in the 1942 "Artists for Victory" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art*, and in 1944, Midtown Galleries in New York held his first one-person show. This gallery then continued to be his representative throughout his career. He had subsequent solo exhibitions at Smith College Art Museum, Fort Wayne Museum and Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Maine. He earned an honorary Doctor of Arts from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine in 1957, and was a member of The American Academy* and Institute of Arts and Letters, as well as the National Academy of Design*. In 1947, the year-long study at the American Academy proved highly influential on his career, especially with him beginning to paint as much with watercolor as oil. Returning to America, he submitted a watercolor into the 1949 exhibition of the National Academy of Design, and that year was voted into Academy membership. From thereon, he exhibited frequently at the Academy and won prizes including the Benjamin Altman Prize* in 1951, 1954, 1961, 1967 and 1969. In 1951, Thon received a grant from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He also taught painting at Ohio University, and painted aspects of the Apollo Space...Category
