American Impressionist Mary Rogers Williams (1857–1907) was, in many ways, more than a century ahead of her time.
We’re more attuned than ever to the phenomenon of overlooked women artists: Each new discovery reveals the extent to which our contemporary understanding of art history has been shaped by the indispensable innovation and talent of women who were not often welcomed or properly credited by the overwhelmingly male establishment. Perhaps that’s why American Impressionist Mary Rogers Williams , a “revolutionary artist,” in the words of her biographer Eve Kahn, did her best to sidestep it.
In addition to teaching, Williams oversaw her household without the aid of servants and made all of her clothing by hand, carving out studio time to paint whenever possible. “Do not feel sorry for her,” Kahn entreats the reader on the first page of her biography. “Mary, above all, had fun, within the limitations of her budget and her era’s misogyny.”, c. 1895, pastel. Shown at the New York Watercolor Society and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1895.
