Charles Wellington Boyle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Wellington Boyle , also Charles Washington Boyle (born March 9, 1861 in Lewisburg , Louisiana , † February 9, 1925 in New Orleans ) was an American painter, art teacher, curator and director of the Delgado Museum of Art .

Life

Charles Wellington Boyle was born in 1861 to JF Boyle and Bertha F. Fortich in Lewisburg (according to some sources also New Orleans). He received his artistic training at the New York School of Art and the Art Students League of New York , where he was a student of the painters Robert Henri and Frank Vincent DuMond.

In New Orleans, Boyle was tutored by Paul Poincy and Andres Molinary . Together they founded the Southern Art Union in 1880 and the Artists' Association of New Orleans five years later. As part of this organization, Boyle exhibited his works regularly and taught elementary classes for several years. He also taught art at Ruston College and in New Orleans at the Louisiana Valence Institute (1892), the Ferrels School for Boys and the Home Institute (1900-1908; 1910-1912).

Boyle had a house in Mandeville , Louisiana that was often used as an artist hangout and the surrounding area was the inspiration for some of his paintings, such as Cypress Studded Coastline .

In 1911 Boyle became the first curator of the newly formed Delgado Museum of Art (later renamed the New Orleans Museum of Art ). He ran the museum from 1922 until his death in 1925.

Boyle worked mainly as an art teacher. But he was also a landscape, portrait and genre painter and restorer. He can be classified as a representative of early Impressionism in Louisiana. If necessary, he signed his works, especially oil paintings, with CW Boyle .
