Edward Henry Potthast Biography
(b Cincinnati, OH, 10 June 1857; d New York, ?10 March 1927). American painter. He was apprenticed at an early age to a lithographer and attended night classes at the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati. He interrupted his studies to travel to Europe in 1882 and 1887, visiting Antwerp, Munich, Paris and Barbizon. His early work features the dark tonalities of the Munich school, evident in Dutch Interior (1890; Cincinnati, OH, A. Mus.). After his move to New York in 1896, Potthast’s palette brightened. There he embarked on what was to become his primary subject: New York beach scenes in which spirited groups of families and children cavort under the strong, even light of the summer sun, as in Sailing Party (Cincinnati, OH, A. Mus.). Obviously influenced by Impressionism—well established in America by this time—Potthast applied his pigments with a thickly laden brush, obliterating facial expression but conveying gaiety and warmth through his high-keyed colour schemes, energetic brushwork and sharply cropped compositions.
