WILLIAM MCGREGOR PAXTON American 1869 - 1941 “The House Maid” 1910 oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr William McGregor Paxton, along with his Boston School colleagues Edmund Tarbell, Frank Benson, and Joseph DeCamp, achieved institutional recognition and popular acclaim for paintings based on a single theme: a refined interior inhabited by a young woman as decorative as the still-life objects that surround her. The House Maid depicts a uniformed servant engrossed in a book and standing behind a table on which a group of still-life objects is displayed. With the exception of the open stationery box on the far left, most of the items represented in The House Maid are East Asian: a white Chinese lidded jar, a vessel, a porcelain figure, and a Qing dynasty blue-and-white porcelain pot. All are reminders of New England's long history of trade with Asia. The juxtaposition of Asian objects and a lovely woman was a typical motif in American turn-of-the-century painting. Reading was likewise a familiar and repeated subject: Paxton was unusual, however, in representing a servant rather than the usual lady of leisure. The items on the table are the housemaid's responsibility but are not her property. Along with other members of the Boston School, Paxton was known to admire the paintings of Johannes Vermeer. In The House Maid, the stable triangular composition, muted palette, precisely rendered textures, meticulous arrangement, and sense of quiet absorption all have parallels in Vermeer's work.

William McGregor Paxton 1869-1941 “Tea Leaves” 1909 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr Paxton often depicted refined women such as his patrons' wives and daughters at leisure in handsome Boston interiors of the sort they would have decorated and occupied. By equating women with the precious aesthetic trappings that surrounded them, Paxton echoed the spirit of the novelist Henry James, who portrayed women as collectible objects in novels such as “Portrait of a Lady” (1881). Paxton's restrained palette and precise rendering of figures and setting here and else where allied him to the academic tradition of his Parisian teacher, Jean-Léon Gérôme.

Thoughts are mightier than armies. -William McGregor Paxton . I eliminated blue from my 3 color challenge! With this drawing I only used red and yellow (in addition to graphite and white charcoal). It's a study of a #williammcgregorpaxton pastel drawing. He married the artist Elizabeth Okie, who I think might be the model for this piece. I think I'll keep going with the drawing, and really make it mine. 🤔 QUESTION for the artists: When do you know to stop? . Materials: 5.5" x 8.5" (14 x 21.6 cm) @strathmoreart tan paper, @blickartmaterials Yellow, @fabercastellusa Deep Red, @generalpencil White charcoal, and @staedtler graphite.
