      Julius Golz New Jersey, Ohio, (1878 - 1965) winter landscape, 1922 oil on canvas Signed lower right. Exhibited: E. Patrick Gallery, MI Biography from the Archives of askART: The following biography is from Jerome A. Collins, independent scholar and collector, Kennebunkport, Maine, and Kate Nearpass Ogden, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, Pomona. Julius Golz was born in Camden, New Jersey in 1878. He studied art with Thomas Anschutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and was later a student of Robert Henri in New York City. Although never famous himself, Golz knew some of the best known artists of his day including Robert Henri, John Sloan, George Bellows, Charles Demuth, Rockwell Kent, Arthur Davies, and Maurice Prendergast. Golz and the well-known illustrator Rockwell Kent ran The Monhegan Summer School of Art on Monhegan Island, Maine in 1910. The school operated for only one summer. In 1910 Golz also accepted a position as Director of the Columbus [Ohio] School of Art (now the Columbus College of Art and Design); he was recommended for the position by his former teacher, Robert Henri. In 1911 Golz attempted to put on a small-scale re-creation of the New York Independents exhibition of 1910. As with the New York City show, the idea proved controversial and sparks flew. The Columbus "town fathers" felt that the more avant-garde art should be censored; in the end a compromise was reached, with a separate exhibition room, open to men only, for the display of the more objectionable paintings. Among the pictures deemed offensive were a painting of a group of dancing nude nymphs by Arthur Davies, a painting of nude men wrestling in a natural setting by Rockwell Kent, and John Sloan's famous etching of a woman in her nightgown, reaching towards the head of her bed to shut off the gas light, while her companion watches. According to one source, by 1920 Golz had stepped down as director of the Columbus School of Art in favor of teaching. The director in 1920 was Pearl Remy; the instructors included Alice Schille, Grace Kelton, John Hussey, and Golz. (Hooper) According to his draft card, Golz was still in Ohio in 1927. By 1930, the artist had returned to New Jersey. The census of that year indicates that Julius (52) and his wife Annie (47) were living in Wall, Monmouth County, with their three sons: Walter, Joseph, and William (ages 18, 16, and 11, respectively). (Loughery) At least two of the boys graduated from Manasquan High School in the 1930s. The artist Robert Henri commented favorably on a painting of Blackwell's Island and the East River by Julius Golz. Henry wrote: "What force and power is in this man's work. He seems to be the only man who has ever painted the East River, that wonderful snowswept fence against that absolutely deep and tragic water and then beyond, Blackwell's Island, and all done without a particle of sentimentality. As a canvas it stands as a striking piece of realism and yet in the hanging it is associated with and is a most natural accompaniment to the painting of Arthur Davies, the great imaginator." (The Craftsman) Another painting by Golz, "View of Philadelphia from Camden" (private collection) is a small oil sketch only 5 by 7 inches in size. Its urban subject and painterly style are similar to works by the members of the so-called "Ash Can School" of New York, a group that included Robert Henri, John Sloan, and George Bellows - all friends of the artist. Other paintings by Golz are owned by the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington and the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, New York. Golz's paintings were highly regarded in the early stages of his career. In 1907 he received a glowing review in the New York Sun. In 1908, his work was included in an exhibition featuring work by the students of Robert Henri. Henri and John Sloan were pleased with the show; Arthur B. Davies even planned to include work by Golz and another student artist, Laurence Dresser, in a traveling exhibition of work by The Eight. Unfortunately that plan was never realized. (Perlman) Sources: Ormond Castle Hooper, History of Columbus, Ohio (1920/21), pp. 169, 287, 288, 269.
