Willow made me buy it. She was in her element in the Cath Kidston shop and made me buy this bag. I'm a bit of a Cath Kidston bag lady at the moment. My knitting bag is CK, my needle case is, oh and most of my shopping bags are!

Little Bay - 1872
Dwight William Tryon (1849 - 1925)
Hartford born Dwight William Tryon was one of the most successful and widely known painters of “The Hartford Art Colony”. His landscapes were favored by Charles Freer, which brought him national fame. During his almost 40 years as a teacher at Smith College, he influenced the artistic tastes of two generations of Smith students.
He was born in Hartford on August 13, 1849. His father was Anson Tryon, a native of Glastonbury Connecticut. His paternal ancestors were from a section of South Glastonbury known as Tryontown. His mother was Delia Roberts from East Hartford. His father was a builder/contractor. In 1852, when Tryon was just 2, his father was accidently shot and killed by his own brother in a hunting accident. After the accident Delia and her infant son moved to a poor part of East Hartford to live with her family.
He went to high school in East Hartford. After his graduation in 1863, at age 14, he and his mother moved to Hartford. Too young to fight in the Civil War, he found a job in the Colt firearms factory making precision machine tools. By this time he was already producing skilled drawings, some of which are still preserved.
About a year later he found a job more to his liking as a bookkeeper with the Brown Gross bookstore, then at the corner of Main St. and Asylum Ave. In 1869, the bookstore shortly moved just down the street on Asylum Ave. Tryon and one of his fellow workers moved the entire stock of the bookstore to the new location by wheelbarrow. He covered the walls in the basement of the bookstore with his drawings of boats. At this time he took frequent excursions by rowboat on the Connecticut River to draw the river scenery. He found the local landscape flat and uninteresting. He preferred the water and the shore.
His mother worked as a custodian at the Morgan Museum, now the Wadsworth Atheneum, just down the block on Main Street. He took full advantage of the bookstore and the museum to learn as much as he could about culture and art, often visiting his mother after hours to study the paintings in the museum. A boyhood friend remembered that Tryon studied at the Hannum’s Business School, where he was well known for adeptness for “pen and ink”.
In 1870, Hartford had a thriving art scene, with more than 20 professional painters, painting and exhibiting their works in the city. The painters’ studios were clustered around the area on Main Street between the Museum, where his mother worked, and Asylum Ave. where he worked. There were many artist studios in the insurance company buildings and many art supply stores that also functioned as galleries for the local artists. Beginning in 1871 the Hartford Art Association, which incorporated in 1872 as the Connecticut School of Design, began sponsoring annual shows. Tryon was the first Secretary of the school and the youngest of the founding members. The other founding members included the prominent Hartford artists, John W. Stancliff, Frederick Stiles Jewett, George F. Wright, William Ruthven Wheeler, and Roswell Morse Shurtleff. Charles Noel Flagg joined sometime before 1873. The school lasted only a few years but provided a foundation for the Society of Decorative Arts, (which later became the Hartford Art School) and Flagg’s Connecticut Art Students League.
In 1870, Tryon also sold his first painting to another young Hartford painter William Bailey Faxon who was the same age as Tryon. The painting was a small 6”x 8” Venetian marine that Faxon had seen in the window of the bookstore. The price was $15 but Faxon said he had only $10 and Tryon agreed. They remained life long friends, both studying in Paris at the same time and eventually occupying neighboring New York studios.
Through his work in the bookstore he became acquainted with many of the prominent figures of Hartford. Otis Skinner, the well-known actor, Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the leading clergy of Hartford, Rev. Horace Bushnell, Edwin P. Parker and Rev. Joseph Twitchell were among the young man’s friends. Tryon enjoyed billiards and Twain invited him to play in his remarkable billiards room at the top of his house on Farmington Avenue.
In 1873, Tryon married Alice H. Belden and the same year decided to leave the world of business to pursue a career in art. He took a studio on the top floor of the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Company at the corner of Main and Pearl Streets. William Ruthven Wheeler was among the artist with studios in the same building. His decision to pursue an artistic career without any outside financial support was not a casual one at the time. Twain and Twitchell argued strongly against such a move, although he was supported by Bushnell. Twain said, “Tryon, you are making the mistake of your life……you will probably starve to death in a garret.” Henry Cooke White, in his biography of Tryon draws a vivid picture of his courage in the face of the climate at the time in staid, conservative Hartford.
“Tryon’s decision to give up business and launch his barque upon the adventurous sea of art seems natural enough to us now, as we view it in the light of subsequent events. We must, however, recall something of the general attitude of mind of New England people of that day toward art and artists to realize what a momentous thing is was for a young man to do. Artists, like actors, were looked at a little askance, and, with the possible exception of the portrait painter, were not considered indispensable to the welfare of any well-regulated community. Painting pictures was hardly one of the useful occupations and certainly not a gainful one. And if a literary personage like Mark Twain disapproved of young Tryon’s adventure, what must more staid and practical people have thought of it? Probably as visionary, and also a little déclassé in it’s assumed Bohemian aspects. But most certainly as frivolous. ‘Let joy be unconfined’ was not the motto of our New England ancestors.” (White page 28-29)
However Tryon quickly began to gather a following. The Cheney’s of Manchester were among his patrons, not only buying his paintings, but also taking classes in art from him. Bushnell, as previously mentioned was also supportive.
In 1875, Henry C. White, then 14, first visited his studio in the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Company building and provides a vivid recollection of it in his biography of Tryon.
“In the tower of the southeast corner of the building, since rebuilt, was the studio of Tryon. A couple of lads whose father was employed in the building were schoolboy friends of mine, and on Saturdays I used to go there with them. We played about the buildings and enjoyed the fine view of the city, the river, and East Hartford to be seen from a large window on the top floor. I loved nature and had already begun to draw and paint. One memorable day the door of Tryon’s studio stood afar, and I caught a glimpse of pictures which drew me like a magnet. I ventured nearer, and a voice said, “Come in”. I needed no second invitation and we were soon engaged in an interesting conversation during which I managed to tell him of my great desire to learn to draw and paint. He assured me that, if my parents were willing, he would be glad to help me. For the remainder of that winter in worked in his studio every Saturday, and when summer came he invited me to accompany him to Block Island on a sketching trip.” (White, page 31)
White remained a life long friend and in 1930 published his biography.
In 1876, Tryon and his wife decided to join several other young Hartford painters in Paris. Charles and Montague Flagg, Robert Brandegee, and William Faxon had moved there in 1872 and were studying with Jacquesson del la Chevreuse. He gathered up all of his paintings, conducted a “fire sale” and departed for Paris with the grand sum of $2,000.
He remained in Paris for five years until 1881. He and his wife were obviously good money managers to make $2,000 last this long. Upon his return, he set up a studio in the Rembrandt Building on West 57th St. with Faxon as his neighbor. He began showing his work at the Montross Gallery. He also chose South Dartmouth, Mass. as his summer place. In 1886 he built his house in South Dartmouth that remained his summer residence for the rest of his life.
In 1885 he began his long teaching career at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. He taught there until his retirement in1923. In the same year he replaced James Wells Champney, a fellow teacher at Smith, as principal instructor of Society of Decorative Arts that had been renamed the Art Society of Hartford, (later named the Hartford Art School and eventually became The Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford), and relocated to the Wadsworth Atheneum which had been previously closed to the public for lack of patronage. Hildegard Cummings credits Tryon for attracting the other members of “The Parisian branch of the Hartford art colony” back to Hartford. This included Charles Noel Flagg, who returned to Hartford in 1887, Montague Flagg, Faxon, and Brandegee, (who was teaching at Miss Porter’s School in Farmington).
He met Charles Freer in 1889. Freer became an avid collector of his works giving him financial security. There is an extensive collection of most of his best works at the Freer Gallery, although contrary to Freer’s wishes, many of them are seldom exhibited.
James Britton, a student of Flagg and an inveterate diarist, provides a wonderful verbal picture of Tryon in his apartment and studio in Harperly Hall on Central Park West in 1923, just two years before his death.

The NBMAA collection represents the major artists and movements of American art. Today it numbers about 8,274 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs, including the Sanford B.D. Low Illustration Collection, which features important works by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.
Among collection highlights are colonial and federal portraits, with examples by John Smibert, John Trumbull, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, and the Peale family. The Hudson River School features landscapes by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Martin Johnson Heade, John Kensett, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Church. Still life painters range from Raphaelle Peale, Severin Roesen, William Harnett, John Peto, John Haberle, and John La Farge. American genre painting is represented by John Quidor, William Sidney Mount, and Lilly Martin Spencer. Post-Civil War examples include works by Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, George de Forest Brush, and William Paxton, and 19 plasters and bronzes by Solon Borglum. American Impressionists include Mary Cassatt, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Willard Metcalf, and Childe Hassam, the last represented by eleven oils. Later Impressionist paintings include those by Ernest Lawson, Frederck Frieseke, Louis Ritman, Robert Miller, and Maurice Prendergast.
Other strengths of the twentieth-century collection include: sixty works by members of the Ash Can School; significant representation by early modernists such as Alfred Maurer, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Weber; important examples by the Precisionists Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, Preston Dickinson, and Ralston Crawford; a broad spectrum of work by the Social Realists Ben Shahn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and Jack Levine; and ambitious examples of Regionalist painting by Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry, and Thomas Hart Benton, notably the latter’s celebrated five-panel mural, The Arts of Life in America (1932).
Works by the American Abstract Artist group (Stuart Davis, Ilya Bolotowsky, Esphyr Slobodkina, Balcomb Greene, and Milton Avery) give twentieth-century abstraction its place in the collection, as do later examples of Surrealism by artists Kay Sage and George Tooker; Abstract Expressionism (Lee Krasner, Giorgio Cavallon, Morris Graves, Robert Motherwell, Sam Francis, Cleve Gray), Pop and Op art (Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Robert Indiana, Tom Wesselman, Jim Dine), Conceptual (Christo, Sol LeWitt), and Photo-Realism (Robert Cottingham). Examples of twentieth-century sculpture include Harriet Frishmuth, Paul Manship, Isamu Noguchi, George Segal, and Stephen DeStaebler. We continue to acquire contemporary works by notable artists, in order to best represent the dynamic and evolving narrative of American art.
