Abbott Handerson ThayerPair of Birds
About the Item
A fine woodland scene oil painting with two birds by American artist Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849-1921). Thayer was born in Boston to a prominent family and attended the Chauncey Hall School, founded by his grandfather. His art teacher there was Henry Morse from whom he learned to do animal portraits. He studied at the Brooklyn Academy of Design with Lemuel Wilmarth, and after marrying Kate Bloede, he went to Paris for a year, as a student of Jean Leon Gerome. In 1879, he opened a studio in Brooklyn in the same building as the studios of Thomas Dewing and Daniel Chester French. He became president of the Society of American Artists but resigned, deciding to move to Cornwall-on-Hudson to raise his family. After living in the Hudson River valley for a decade, he moved to Dublin, New Hampshire where he joined a colony of artists and lived at the foot of Mount Monadnock. He maintained a lively correspondence with friends including Samuel Clemens, Theodore Roosevelt, and Charles Lang Freer. He married a long-time friend, Emma Beach, and built a family compound where he painted portraits of friends, meditative views of the mountain, and a series of angels that seemed very human and were symbolic of his family and his need to protect people, animals, and places he loved. He became a strong advocate of conservation and founded the Thayer Fund, which paid for the establishment of bird sanctuaries throughout the east coast region.
