About the Item

Lucy Doane Greylock from Hairpin Turn Signed and Inscribed titled verso Oil on board 16 x 20 inches Lucy Doane was an established artist, illustrator and teacher whose regionalist style captured the life of the Northeast during the early part of the 20th century. Born in Nahant, Massachusetts Lucy Doane graduated from Lynn Classical High School in 1925. She discovered a passion for artmaking early on in her life and went on to pursue an undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts College of Art (1929), and an MFA from Teachers College at Columbia University in New York. She did further study at the Netherlands Institute of History and Art. Early in her career, Doane worked as an illustrator of children's books, including the popular Pennie, which was published by Arlo Publishing Company in 1927. As Doane matured as an artist, her attention shifted to painting. She was enchanted by landscapes of Vermont and the shores of the eastern U.S. coastline. Sailing, in the Wolfson Collection, is a subject that Doane explored often in her work. The canvas is divided up into 4 sections; waves and shoreline, sailboats, dunes and a stormy sky. The abstracted swirl of wind and wave in the foreground adds playful energy and suggests that Doane did not restrict herself to realistic representations of the land around her but had knowledge of symbolist and abstract approaches. The simplified, flat forms show the influence of Modernism’s flattened planes. Doane taught art for several years at Keene Teachers' College in New Hampshire and then become Director of Art for the Rutland, Vermont public schools. She served for decades, retiring in 1971. Doane liked to travel and took numerous trips to Europe and Asia. After retiring from teaching, Doane lived for a number of years in Bennington, Vermont, where she was active with the Bennington Area Acts Council, the Southern Vermont Arts Center and the Bennington Museum.
