Work Description:
Mary Adelaide Nutting (November 1, 1858 – October 3, 1948) was an American nurse, educator, and pioneer in the field of hospital care. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University's first nurse training program in 1891, Nutting helped to found a modern nursing program at the school. In 1907, she became involved in an experimental program at the new Teachers College at Columbia University. Ascending to the role of chair of the nursing and health department, Nutting authored a vanguard curriculum based on preparatory nursing education, public health studies, and social service emphasis. She served as president of a variety of councils and committees that served to standardize nursing education and ease the process of meshing nurse-profession interest with state legislation. Nutting was also the author of a multitude of scholarly works relating to the nursing field, and her work, A History of Nursing, remains an essential historic writing today. She is remembered for her legacy as a pioneer in the field of nursing, but also her activist role in a time where women still had limited rights. (Wikipedia)

Work Creator notes (display):
American painter. She began her career painting on porcelain and producing lithographs and portrait drawings. She studied with Catharine Ann Drinker (1871), Francis Adolf van der Wielen (18723) and Camille Piton (1879), at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (18778), and privately with William Sartain (18813). Under Sartain's guidance, she learnt to paint, producing her first major portrait, the Last Days of Infancy (18835; priv. col., see 1974 exh. cat., p. 25). She completed her art training in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colorossi (18889). On her return to Philadelphia, Beaux established her reputation with portraits of her family, such as Ernesta with Nurse (1894; New York, Met.). Commissions for double portraits, such as the Dancing Lesson (18991900; Chicago, IL, A. Inst.), brought her critical acclaim and won her numerous awards and prizes. Her last significant commission came in 1919 from the US War Portraits Commission, painting likenesses of Cardinal Mercier, Georges Clemenceau and Admiral Sir David Beatty (all Washington, DC, N. Mus. Amer. A.). Beaux's mature style was marked by unconventional compositions and flowing brushwork in the manner of John Singer Sargent. She was considered by her contemporaries the most distinguished woman portrait painter in America. (Grove Art Online accessed 2006-07-26)
