Biographical/Historical Information
Elizabeth Nourse (1859-1938) was an American painter, widely known for her paintings of women and children during the late-nineteenth
and early-twentieth century. Born in Mount Healthy, Ohio in 1859, she studied under Thomas Noble at the McMicken School of
Design (later renamed the Art Academy of Cincinnati) from 1874-81. Shortly after her graduation in 1881, her parents died
and Nourse began painting the decorative panels carved by her twin sister Adelaide to help support her family. When Adelaide
married, Elizabeth moved to New York where she studied at The Art Students League of New York, taking life drawing classes
with William Sartain. In 1885, the McMicken School of Design offered their first life drawing courses for women, and Nourse
returned to Ohio to continue developing her skills in figure drawing.
In 1887, Elizabeth and her older sister, Louise, left for France, to continue her education at the Académie Julian in Paris,
studying under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre. She lived in France with Louise for the rest of her life, but exhibited
widely in both Europe and the USA until her retirement in 1924.
Nourse was one of the few women painters to achieve international recognition for her work and faced certain obstacles that
a male artist did not encounter. She first had to prove that she was a serious professional since most women painters, no
matter how gifted, were considered “Sunday painters” who would eventually marry or become teachers and fail to produce a significant
body of work. To acquire professional status she had to be recognized by all-male exhibition juries and to be favorably reviewed
by the art critics, who also were mostly men. As a Victorian lady she could not easily advance her career by forming friendships
in these groups, as a male artist could; the social interchange of the café, so much a part of the artistic life of Paris
in her day, was denied to her. And unlike other expatriate female artists, such as Mary Cassat or Cecilia Beaux, Nourse did
not have an independent income nor did she teach. To compensate for these disadvantages, she always had the total support
of her family and of a large network of women friends who admired her work, publicized it, and bought it. From 1883 until
her death, she was able to earn a living as a professional artist and support her sister Louise as well.
Nourse developed a considerable reputation as a painter, acclaimed not only for her technical skill but also for the unique
personal vision she brought to her subject matter. She primarily painted empathetic images of peasant women engaged in ordinary
activities such as tending to housework and nursing babies. This was an extension of her preoccupation with the simple subjects
she had painted in the Midwest - the daily routine of rural folk, especially women at work, mothers and children, portraits
of African-American women and girls, and country landscapes. And except for a few months’ study in New York and later in Paris,
her style was almost exclusively formed at the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati.
In 1895, she became the first woman to be elected an associate of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and served as president
of the American Women’s Art Association of Paris from 1899 to 1900. Although her work was often compared to Mary Cassatt’s
paintings of wealthy Parisian mothers and children, Nourse remained committed to representing the working class women she
encountered in her travels to France, Italy, Holland, and the Ukraine. During her career she also maintained a more traditional
style, dismissing popular movements like Impressionism as passing trends.
While many American artists left France during World War I, Nourse remained in Paris where she solicited funds and supplies
for refugees. Her efforts were later rewarded in 1919 by the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and in 1921 by Notre Dame University
with the Laetare Medal for her charitable service to humanity.
Nourse died in Paris on October 8, 1938.

Custodial History note
Provenance of the Nourse Collection:
The principal objects in the archives were sixteen sketchbooks dating from 1874 to 1923, containing drawings in pencil, watercolor,
and pastel, including studies for some of Nourse’s major paintings. Also included were:
•Scrapbook 1911 to 1932 (2004.1.17): compiled by the artist and covering the period 1911 to 1932, includes news clippings,
magazine articles, reproductions of artwork, exhibition information and reviews, correspondence, memorabilia, and information
about family members (particularly the Schmidts and the Burkes), about Nourse's models, friends in France, and World War I
in France.
•“Elizabeth Nourse: A Sketch” (2004.1.18): biographical book by Emma Mendenhall Anderson (1922).
•'Portrait of a Married Woman' (2004.1.19): watercolor on paper, framed, signed.
•Photographs (2004.1.20-22) of Elizabeth Nourse and her paintings, 1887 to 1914 (plus accompanying mailing envelopes and shipping
slips).
•Clothing (2004.1.23.1-5), including two handmade lace linen bonnets.
•'Owls', 1898 (2004.1.24): oil, charcoal, mixed media on burlap, signed with date.
•Plus miscellaneous other materials, including reproductions of works by other artists, fashion plates from 19th century French
magazines, and correspondence.
After the death of Elizabeth Nourse in Paris on October 26, 1938, Walter Schmidt, executor, had the paintings in the estate
shipped to Closson's Gallery, Cincinnati. A trunk containing the sketchbooks and other materials went with them.
Patricia Niehoff's grandmother bought some of the paintings from Closson's, and the trunk was included as part of the sale.
When Patricia's grandmother died, the family cleaned out her house; they looked for the sketchbooks, but did not suspect they
were in the trunk, which was almost thrown out. When it was opened, the clothing, photographs, and sketchbooks were found
inside. The collection was later given to Patricia Niehoff by her mother.
After an exhibition of the sketchbooks and paintings at Cincinnati Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum [probably
in conjunction with the Mary Alice Heekin Burke exhibition and catalogue raisonné, "Elizabeth Nourse, 1859-1938: A Salon Career"
(1983)], the Niehoff Nourse Collection was given to the Mercantile Library in 2004.
In 2014, these materials were transferred from the Mercantile, with the Niehoff's blessing, to the Cincinnati Art Musuem.
The Sketchbooks, 'Portrait of a Married Woman', 'Seven Owls', and clothing were accessioned to the museum's permanent collection;
the rest of the materials were added to the archives.
