The Historical Society of Woodstock receives conservation grant

Hervey White in His Studio, c. 1926 by Arnold Blanch (1896-1968)

Hervey White in His Studio, c. 1926 by Arnold Blanch (1896-1968)

The Historical Society of Woodstock has received a 2021 New York State Council on the Arts/Greater Hudson Heritage Foundation Conservation award of $5,500 for the conservation of the paintings Hervey White in His Studio (c. 1926) by Arnold Blanch (1896-1968) and Landscape (c. 1910) by Edmund R. Rolfe (1877-1917). Conservation will be undertaken by Nadia Ghannam Fine Art Conservation.

The portrait of Hervey White by Arnold Blanch is one of the major representations of the writer and founder in the early 20th century of the Byrdcliffe and Maverick art colonies, located in the Woodstock/West Hurley area. White is pictured seated on a couch in his still-existing cottage on Maverick Road, which he named Bearcamp for the Bearcamp River in Chicaurua, New Hampshire.

Upon founding the Maverick in 1905, White took on the life of a part-time farmer while writing novels and entertaining. He offered houses to kindred spirits, who paid modest rents when they were able to. He built the simple rustic cottages with his own limited funds and at times with his own hands.

Woodstock was one of the great centers of landscape painting in America in the early 20th century, and the work by Edmund R. Rolfe is an exemplary painting of this period. The artist came to Woodstock in the early years of the 20th century to study in Birge Harrison’s painting class at the Art Students League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting. Under the influence of Harrison and John F. Carlson, a major school of landscape painting developed in the town, initially inspired by the aesthetics of Tonalism.

More than 40 grant applications were received by the Greater Hudson Heritage Network, including institutions from 25 counties in New York State. Requests were made for the treatment of 70 objects, of which 25 organizational awards totaling $138,157 were recommended by a peer panel of conservators, curators and museum professionals. Conservation treatment awards range from $1,920 to the maximum amount of $7,500.
