  • Robert Lewis Reid
    Jul 29, 1862 - Dec 2, 1929
  • A Summer Girl - Robert Lewis Reid was an American Impressionist painter and muralist. Reid was the youngest and, in terms of palette, the brightest of The Ten, the earliest of the two groups of American painters to rebel against the "stacked" exhibitions of the National Academy at the turn of the century. Around 1905, his work was more naturalistic, even though his palette trended toward soft pastels.

Robert Lewis ReidRobert Reid was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston under Otto Grundmann, where he was also later an instructor. In 1884 he moved to New York City, studying at the Art Students League, and in 1885 he went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. His early pictures were figures of French peasants, painted at Étaples.

Upon returning to New York in 1889, he worked as a portraitist and later became an instructor at the Art Students League and Cooper Union. Much of his work centered on the depiction of young women set among flowers. His work tended to be very decorative, and he became known for mural decoration and designs for stained glass. He contributed with others to the frescoes of the dome of the Liberal Arts Building at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in 1893.

In 1897, Reid was a member of the Ten American Painters, who seceded from the Society of American Artists. In 1906 he became a full member of the National Academy of Design. Around the turn of the century, Reid worked on several mural projects and when he returned to paintings, around 1905, his work was more naturalistic, even though his palette trended toward soft pastels.

He has work in the Congressional Library, Washington, D.C., the Appellate Court House, New York, and the State House, Boston, where are his three large panels, "James Otis Delivering his Speech against the Writs of Assistance," "Paul Revere's Ride" and the "Boston Tea Party." He executed a panel for the American Pavilion at the Paris Exhibition, 1900, and in 1906 he completed a series of ten stained glass windows for the Unitarian Memorial Church at Fairhaven, Mass.. Reid's "The Martyrdom of St. Paul" is located at the southwestern end of the nave of the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City.

He died in Clifton Springs, New York.
