In 1897, an unnamed writer for The Critic, reviewing the National Academy annual exhibition, singled out two works submitted by Robert Reid, writing, "Two paintings by Mr. Robert Reid, Moonrise and Evening Song, may be mentioned in connection to Mr. Tarbell's work because they are, also, in a very high key, and broadly treated, but with a conventional breadth not out of place in frankly decorative work. To be properly appreciated, they should be seen in a room treated in harmony with their scheme of pale blues, greens and orange, and their few and simple lines." The ethereal work was so well received that it was awarded the Thomas B. Clarke Prize, $300 for the best American figure composition by the jurors for the National Academy exhibition. Robert Reid joined The Lambs Club in 1894 and was later elected as a life Member. The Lambs, Inc., is America's oldest professional theatrical club, founded in 1874, as a social club for theatre professionals. C

Artist Biography: American impressionist Robert Reid was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 1862. He studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School, the Art Students League in New York, and at the Academie Julian, in Paris, with Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre. Reid exhibited at the Paris Salon, the 1893 Columbian Expo in Chicago, the Paris Expo, the Pan-American Expo, and the St. Louis Expo, winning prizes and medals. A painter of landscape, figures, still-lifes and murals, Reid was in 1897 one of the founding members of the Ten American Painters, a group of Impressionists who rebelled against traditionalism. He had spent many of his summers painting in Normandy while studying in France in the late 1880s. He returned to New York in 1889 and in 1892, received the commission to decorate one of the eight entrance pavilion domes in the Liberal Arts Building for the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. Following this period, he received throughout his career important mural commissions in New York including ones for the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the Imperial Hotel. He also continued his easel work.Reid's painting, "Woman with a Vase of Irises," c. 1906, typifies his Impressionist style with his handling of high-hues, values and little contrast of lights and darks. This painting is also typical of his subject matter, which was idealized young women sitting in landscapes and holding or carrying flowers. In this painting, a young woman with a wistful expression, dressed in a voluminous, loose-fitting white house dress, sits on a porch railing, her hands on a large foreground vase of flowers. Loosely painted Impressionist foliage fills the entire background closely behind her.About 1910, he began a group of paintings showing women dressed in Japanese kimonos set in brilliantly colored interiors with Oriental screens.In the early 1920s, Reid moved to Colorado Springs where he joined the faculty of the Broadmoor Academy. During this time, he focused more on portrait commissions, "creating what he called 'portrait impressions' by quickly painting in only the essential forms and features in broad, vigorous brush strokes." (Falk) In 1927, Reid was partially paralyzed by a stroke and spent the last two years of his life in a New York State sanitorium where he learned to paint with his left hand.His work is included in the permanent collections of many public institutions including the Detroit Institute of Arts. Reid was a member of the Society of American Artists and the National Academy of Design (Associate, 1902; Academician, 1906). He died in Clifton Springs, New York in 1929. Meta: painting, art

ROBERT REID (American, 1862-1929) Forest Brook Oil on canvas 25 x 30 inches (63.5 x 76.2 cm) Signed lower left: R. Reid THE JEAN AND GRAHAM DEVOE WILLIFORD CHARITABLE TRUST Robert Reid was an early practitioner of the Impressionist technique in the United States. After training at the Academie Julian in Paris, Reid became one of the founding members of the Ten American Painters, a group of Impressionists who rebelled against traditionalism and exhibited together for twenty years. Forest Brook is an outstanding example of Reid's most daring work as a landscape painter, so ethereal in its high-hues, values and little contrast of lights and darks that it most resembles a faint Japanese brush painting rendered with the most delicate tonal washes. Indeed, the evocative quality of near-values was something that Reid and his compatriot John Twachtman pushed much further than many other American artists in their paintings. As a fan of Tonalism, Graham Williford had tremendous appreciation for this approach to landscape.
