William Merritt Chase (1849 Williamsburg, IN-1916 New York City)
In 1875 he exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York, and received a medal at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. In 1878 Chase returned to New York to teach at the Arts Students League and he also gave private lessons in his studio. In 1881 he returned to Europe where he met the Belgian painter Alfred Stevens and came in contact with the work of the Impressionists. Their influence is apparent in a work like Sunlight and Shadow (1184; Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha) with its light palette.
In 1885 Chase met Whistler in London and they agreed to paint each other's portrait. Only Chase's portrait of Whistler was completed (1885; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). Whistler was concerned about its foppish nature and described it as a 'monstrous lampoon'.
Whistler's influence can be seen in Chase's profile portrait of a seated woman, Portrait of Dora Wheeler (1884; Cleveland Museum of Art), and in his full-length female portraits of the late 1880s and early 1890s, eg. Lady in Black (1888; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). Whistler's methods of exhibiting his works also influenced Chase who was largely responsible for the exhibition of the Society of American Artists in 1884, which was described as 'a symphony in the key of - Chase'. Chase was an honorary member of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers of which Whistler was its first President.
Octave Maus, the secretary of Les XX, invited Chase to contribute to the group's first exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1884. Whistler was also invited along with William Stott and John Singer Sargent.
Like Whistler, Chase was a talented pastelist (e.g. Back of a Nude, ca 1888, Private Collection). In 1882, along with Robert Frederick Blum, he set up the American Society of Painters in Pastel, a society which held four exhibitions from 1884 to 1890.
In 1891 he founded the Shinnecock Summer School of Art on Long Island where he taught until 1902. He also taught at the Brooklyn Art Association in 1887 and from 1891 to 1895, at the Chase School of Art from 1897 to 1907 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Art from 1896 to 1909. He encouraged his students to work directly from nature and advocated that they paint directly on to the canvas forgoing any initial preparatory sketch. His students included Charles Demuth, Marsden Hartley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Sheeler and Joseph Stella.
