Extractions: What is really fascinating to me about this particular work, is that it is hanging on my mother-in-law's dining room wall! Of course... it is not the Thayer painting, but is in fact by a younger contemporary of his named Wayne Crumling. I know nothing about Crumling except that he was "a local, York County, Pensylvania artist" and that he "studied in France." My in-laws have a couple of his paintings... including the Thayer copy and a self-portrait.

Extractions: From the Nelson and Henry C. White papers, 1898-1978 , a letter from painter Abbott H. Thayer (1849-1921) to Franklin D. Roosevelt, September3, 1917, concerning camouflage for war vehicles. Thayer advises Roosevelt that he has been studying the "principles of Concealing Coloration for nearly a quarter of a century.... I entreat you to believe me that only a picked board of artists, and the more scientific ones, at that, are at all competent to test any scheme. ...I had learned by experiment that it took the brightest white on vertical surfaces to match the horizon sky in cloudy weather, which predominates 95% to 98% of the the time in the 'war zone'." Thayer's paintings also reveal an interest in camouflage. 2 p., 26.5 x20.2 cm.

Extractions: Angels and Ideal Figures Thayer's angels are his best-known paintings. As one art critic mused: "They come near to us, there is a lovely hint of the human and intimate in them, yet they are not of the earth." Thayer made no attempt to explain these enigmatic figures, saying only that the wings were meant to lift the figure out of the commonplace. Yet for him these winged figures had personal meaning. The first angel was a portrait of his daughter Mary, painted in 1887 at the time of his wife's illness. His later angels appear as protective figures hovering over the landscape that Thayer worked so hard to safeguard. During the same period, Thayer painted some of America's most alluring images of women. Some evoke classical mythology; others seem to step out of the Renaissance. These ideal figures represent a golden age, uncontaminated by the materialist world.

Box 73, Franklin Springs, NY 13341. Generations: The Artistic Heritage of Rockwell Kent by Scott R. Ferris FROM THE TREE Generations of artists are not uncommon, In the families of Pieter Brueghel, Charles Willson Peale, Abbott Handerson Thayer, and N. C. Wyeth, a prominent father/artist figure generally assumed the responsibility of guiding his own childrens' technical development. In the family of Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), however, this was not the case. Kent's influence came from his strong philosophical convictions and the physical presence of his work paintings, drawings, prints, books not through direct instruction. There is no precedence in the Kent family for a direct artistic lineage although Kent's great uncle, Cleveland Rockwell, his aunt, Ellen Josephine Holgate ("Auntie Jo"), his cousin, Alice Kent Stoddard Pearson, and his sister, Dorothy Kent, all practiced the fine arts with varying degrees of success. To this broad heritage must be added the family of Kathleen Whiting, Kent's first wife. Her uncle, Abbott H. Thayer, reigned as the artistic beacon from which generations, including his daughter, Gladys Thayer Reasoner, and son, Gerald, were guided.

Extractions: Combining a talent for observation, a knowledge of optics, and a love of natural history, the American painter and amateur naturalist Abbott Handerson Thayer (18491921) carved out a unique niche for himself in the space between the discourses of art and science. Consider the paintings Peacock in the Woods and Red Flamingos, The Skies They Simulate , both dating from around 1909. These are two of the many images demonstrating animal coloration Thayer created with the assistance of his students and colleagues for publication in his book Concealing Coloration in the Animal Kingdom, An Exposition of the Laws of Disguise Through Color and Pattern: Being a Summary of Abbott H. Thayer's Disclosures . These remarkable images illustrate Thayer's belief that all animal coloration, regardless of its apparent visibility, was the result of the natural-selection process that allowed animals to go unnoticed by predators or prey. Despite the evident fallacy of this belief, Thayer made a significant contribution to the study of camouflage by describing and differentiating the ways in which animals conceal themselves. A firm proponent of Darwinism, Thayer believed that the animal coloration he observed was the result of fundamental aspects of evolutionary development. Moreover, he believed that in the matter of animal camouflage, Nature was, in effect, acting as an artist, using color and light intentionally to create optical effects; Thayer equated Art and Nature as agents in the processes that had brought about evolutionary change. Thayer was by no means the first to observe that animals used their coloration to hide themselves in nature. However, in his groundbreaking article "The Law Which Underlies Protective Coloration," written in 1896 for the American Ornithologists' Union journal
