Signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Page measures 15"x11". In Blue Mat 19"x14.50". Weight 1 pd. William Holland Drury was active/lived in Rhode Island, Massachusetts. William Drury is known for marine painting, etching. William Holland Drury was a Newport painter, printmaker, and first and foremost, an art educator. He headed the art department at St. George's School near Newport, Rhode Island, for 38 years; in Providence he taught at the Wheeler School and at the Rhode Island School of Design, where in 1927 he was among the first to teach etching. He inspired numbers of other young people including his five children. Two established artists played a formative role in Drury's own artistic development. From Charles H. Woodbury Drury learned plein air painting and etching techniques. Drury first attended Woodbury's Ogunquit Summer School in Maine around 1914, he taught there in 1927, and he absorbed his instructor's mantra that art is a subjective experience, important for personal growth. Drury's relationship with George W. Bellows, who summered in Newport in 1918 and 1919, was more social; they painted and picnicked together with their families, but Drury's later drawings and etchings show Bellows' influence and Bellows left him a color chart to practice with He was also the Founder and President of the Newport Art Club and Museum.
