with Philadelphia Museum of Art Senior Curator Kathleen A. Foster, whose decades of research on the origins and development of watercolor painting in America have culminated in her recent exhibition and catalog Amer ican Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent. Her extensive work has underscored Schille's pioneering role in the history of the medium. We are grateful to Kathy for her encouragement of this project in its early stages as well as for her thoughtful and articulate preface to this volume. We are equally grateful to the co-curator of this show, Jim Keny, who has championed and researched Schille's art over the years. We also are delighted to welcome his daughter and fellow co-curator, Tara Keny. Her extensive and careful parsing of the archival record inform her essay for this catalog. With the support of a Robert V. Storr Grant, Tara recently presented a shorter version of this essay at the Association of Art History held at the Courtaud Institute in London in 2018. Her contributions to the re-emergence of Alice Schille's story has enriched this exhibition's scholarly contribu tion immeasurably. That Tara was able to mastermind In a New Light while fulfilling her duties as a Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Modern Art speaks to her extraordinary dedication to Schille's legacy. From the Museum's staff, we wish to thank inaugural Roy Lichtenstein Curatorial Fellow Daniel Marcus, who assisted Tara and Jim in bringing In a New Light to frui tion. We also are grateful to Associate Registrar of Exhibi tions Nicole Rome for her skillful handling of exhibition loans and logistics. As always, we extend sincere thanks to Greg Jones and his talented team for their contribu tions to the design and execution of the exhibition. Several colleagues of longstanding have contributed to the success of this and other Museum publications. Former CMA Director of Publications and Executive Editor Christopher S. Duckworth, today president of Brevoort Press, has edited all text and supervised the production. Neil Wengerd, creative partner of Nonfic tion, a Worthington-based design and branding company, conceived and brought to life this sensitive and beautiful catalog, their second CMA publication. West-Camp Press of Westerville, who printed and handled myriad production details for In a New Light, has produced more than a dozen Museum books - always beautifully. Additionally, Alan Geho of Ralphoto provided his expertise in photography. We also thank Tim Keny, Carol Snyder, and Eric Barth ofKeny Galleries for their invalu-
able assistance in orchestrating loans, professionally administrating the myriad tasks associated with the production of the exhibition catalog, and facilitating shipments. This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity of numerous individual lenders, many of whom are from Central Ohio - Alice Schille's hometown and the region where her impact has been most widely felt. We extend our heartfelt thanks to these lenders whose devotion to the artist has sustained her legacy, allowing new generations to explore and enjoy her art. In a New Light has been supported by a generous lead gift from the Charles Kleibacker Endowed Fund for Excellence, which subsidizes this and other orig inal scholarly projects, exhibitions, and programs at the Museum. We also thank the many friends of this exhibition and catalog who made this venture possible. And we thank the Nationwide Foundation, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Greater Columbus Arts Council for their continuing - and essential - support of the Columbus Museum of Art.

sell, and win critical attention. As the chronology and critical responses compiled in this catalog demonstrate, Schille worked this new circuit with tireless ambition, sending her work from her home in Columbus to venues including Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. In 1917-18, enjoying at a high point of critical esteem, her work traveled to at least seven cities in a group show of six accomplished women artists, including Mary Cassatt and Jane Peterson. 4 Her determination to be seen alongside the best of her contemporaries-both men and women--was matched by a will to learn and improve, and the courage to travel fearlessly, like Peterson, to new sites of inspiration in Paris, Tunis, Istanbul, Gloucester, the American West, and beyond. In her many adventures, Schille understood watercol or as a traveler's medium, perfect for spontaneous plein air work. She also found it welcomed her exploration of progressive visual strategies, as she moved from the wet, grayed Impressionism of the Dutch "Hague School" and W histler to the bright, dotted and broken color of Neo-Impressionism and Fauvism [fig. 1). In her hands, watercolor demonstrated its utility as a modern medium, and a medium for modernists. Her brave, distinctive, and inventive work won her critical praise, patronage, awards from many exhibition juries, and election to many artists' societies. By 1920, at the age of fifty, Schille was easily the most versatile, accomplished, and progressive female watercolorist in the United States; surely she was the one most honored by her peers. Her reputation then and now, a hundred and fifty years after her birth, makes for a provocative case study in the vagaries of art history, as it is constructed and reconstruct ed over time, and the particular difficulties faced by women artists. Forgotten outside of Columbus by the time of her death in 1955, her work has been rediscovered slowly since the 1980s, but even with the publication of a substantial monograph in 2001, Schille re mains underappreciated. 5 The arc of her rep utation offers a lesson in the spirals, rather than the tidy linear advance, of art and the history made of it. Progress won was undone. Having risen in a period of opportunity for women and watercolor, Schille pushed further into bright, wet Fauvist work in the 1920s, but effectively dropped out of the national story when she ceased to exhibit her work as fre-
quently in the arenas she had conquered in the 'teens. 6 Although continuing to be well-known and often celebrat ed in Ohio, her later work was not seen or collected by the major museums on the East coast, where the national art history was written after 1930. Watercolor remained "the American medium" in the hands of Charles Burchfield, Edward Hopper, and John Marin, but the ascension in the 1950s of the large-scale, abstract painting of the New York School eclipsed the more intimate and realist watercolor tradition, first established by Homer and Sargent. Still widely popular, watercolor was no longer cutting edge. Meanwhile, women artists struggled as men claimed job priority during the Depression and after World War II, and the feminist movement faded. 7 By the 1950s, the old hierarchies-in art and in gender roles-had been firmly re-established. It would take the wholesale reconsider ation of high modernism after 1980, not coincidentally accompanied by the rise of a new women's movement, to bring fresh attention to the many accomplished artists working in alternate styles, and in mediums other than oil painting and sculpture. Unsurprisingly, this moment of new scholarship and expanding taste, which embraced the many varieties and wider geography of modern art, drew Schille's work back into the spotlight. On the hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of her birth, it is a pleasure to celebrate her achievement again.

SCHILLE'S EXHIBITION HISTORY AND ITS RECEPTION
Schille's exhibition history and critical reception during her lifetime reveal the extent of her involvement in early modernist watercolor painting in the United States. She was accepted regularly into juried museum exhi bitions in Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Philadelphia, Santa Fe, and Washington, and she concurrently showed in all of the major watercolor venues, including the New York and Boson Watercolor Clubs and the American Watercolor Society. 26 In January 1914, the City Art Museum of St. Louis hung several of her works in the annual exhibition Selected Paintings by American Artists beside artists George Bellows, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, and Edward Henry Potthast. The museum's director, R.A. Holland, brought the work of Schille and Cassatt together again in 1917 for a traveling exhibition entitled Paintings by Six American Women, which the Cleveland Bulletin described as "good evidence of the place our American women hold among modern painters."27 Mary Cassatt exhibited two paintings, 28 including The Boating Party [fig. 5], and Schille showed five oil paintings and two watercolors [fig. 6). The other four artists included in the exhibition were Johanna Hailman, Jane Peterson, Helen M. Turner, and Martha Walter. Holland's invitation letter to Schille blandished her and expounded how the exhibition developed: "at the last Figure 5.

young Ohio artists, some of whom exhibited on a national level. Her travels to popular art colonies allowed her to form dialogues with a diverse group of American artists and to share those exchanges with her students and colleagues. At the Columbus Art School, Schille taught drawing, portraiture, and watercolor courses until her 1948 retirement. In Febru ary 1933, at the Columbus Gallery of Pine Arts, she introduced students to Alfred Barr's Brief Survey of Modern Painting, a traveling exhibition of reproductions. In her notebook, she transcribed the familiar canon:
Fr. 8 a.m., Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts: 1) Painting from50 years ago 2) Cezanne and Post Impressionists 3) 20th Century painting: Part One: Matisse, Derain, Bonnard, Etc I Ex. 20th Century: Part Two: Picasso & Cubism, Futurism, Abstract De sign, Super Realism.41 That summer, at sixty-four years old, she took a course in modern painting and drawing taught by the artist Hans Hoffmann at the Thurn Art School in Gloucester, Massachusetts, which she meticulously docu mented for herself and her students. As an extension of the classroom, Schille took her art students on the road, chaperoning visits to exhibitions outside of Columbus, where she introduced them to fellow artists and Figures 11, 13.

Alice Schille's The Promenade at Night, with its Whistler-like quality of receding mysterious blue- blackness with its delicately painted people on the beach, with its tender human reality and then notice nearby... Louise Cox's Goldielocks,... and you see opposed purpose and influence...one by one, we find ourselves acquiring standards... and we see what American art has accomplished in the past decade." 44 Schille's watercolors were frequently compared to renowned contem porary artists, including Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, and John Singer Sargent, especially when all four artists submitted to the same exhibitions. The Philadelphia Inquirer illustrated Schille's painting Pico alongside Sargent's Venice and Everett Shinn's When Paris Sleeps in 1906, with the caption "Some of the Most Notable Among the Exhibits" [fig. 20, next page). The jour nal Academy Notes, in a review of the 4 th Annual Exhibition of Selected Watercolors by American Artists held at the Albright Art Gallery, singled out Schille's submissions, noting their central display flanked by Childe Hassam's pastels: "On the west wall are three beautiful compositions by Alice Schille...On the south wall, the center is held by A Poor Little Orphan by Alice Schille, per haps the finest of this artist's works- beautiful in sentiment and most admirable in color and tone. On either side are landscapes, in pastel, by Childe Hassam." 45 Arts and Decoration illus trated Schille's watercolor Kaorn with Sargent's Boboli Garden in their review of the Philadelphia Water Color Club's 19th Annual Exhibition [fig. 19, Figure 18. next page], listing "famous names" such as "Alice Schille, F. Luis Mora, and Childe Hassam" who were "found in every one of the transepts and in the rotunda" in "a show of national importance."46 These examples attest to the fact that Schille's work was integrated with those of her male colleagues. Today, conversely, her work rarely hangs alongside these other artists. Schille's contributions to the American watercolor movement were not only documented in the press but also in period books on the medium, where her techniques were described as exemplary. In 1920, the editor and critic Maude I. G. Oliver published an art manual for parents to use with their children. In the chapter devoted to "Media," Oliver illustrated the watercolor medium using examples of works by four American art ists: Henry Bacon (The Nile-Evening), John Singer Sargent (Unloading Plaster), Winslow Homer (The Conch Divers), and Alice Schille (The Melon Market) [fig. 21, next page). "Miss Schille, like Sargent," she explained of her pure-wash technique, "gets this brilliant look in a picture because she uses so much water- you may notice places where the thin wash es have run down in drops." The same watercolor, The Melon Market,

In 1904, Schille's work was shown at the Societe National des Beaux- Arts in Paris and subsequently at the American Water Color Society (1907-15, 1917-19, 1921, 1925, 1926, 1932), Art Institute of Chicago (1904-19, 1921-28), Boston Water Color Club (1908-09, 1911-16), Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg (1908-09), Cincinnati Art Museum (1909-10, 1914), Columbus Art League (1910, 1914-26, 1928-35, 1937-39, 1943-44), Corcoran Gallery of Art (1907-10, 1912). Her watercolors also hung in juried shows at the Ohio Water Color Society, the Philadelphia Water Color Club (at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art) and the Society of Western Artists. Schille was elected member of the New York Water Color Club in 1907 where she exhibited almost every year until 1922. She was elected member of the Philadelphia Water Color Club in 1915, where she had exhibited from 1905-19. In 1908, Schille was elected Associate of the American Watercolor Society. In Columbus and Cincinnati she was given numerous solo shows. An excellent resource for American Watercolor Society Annuals can be found on the Philadelphia Museum of Art's website at https://philamuseum.github. io/AmericanWatercolors, which contains links to all of the American Watercolor Society catalogs through 1922. This site is an essential resource for the study of American watercolors compiled by Kathleen A. Foster. It offers a general bibliography on American watercolor, a bibliography of periodical literature on American watercolor, c. 1860-1925, catalogs of the aforementioned annual exhibitions of the American Watercolor Society, records of the members of the New York Water Color Society, as well as a general bibliography on watercolor techniques and materials.

30 An Exhibition of Paintings By Six American Women was organized by the City Art Museum director R. A. Holland with the curator Charles Percy Davis and his secretary Madeleine Borggraefe. Beginning in December 1917 at the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, it traveled to the Cleveland Museum of Art (January 1918), Cincinnati Museum Association (February 1918), Fine Arts Institute, Kansas City (March 1918), City Art Museum, St. Louis (April 1918), Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, N.Y. (May 1918), and Hackley Art Gallery, Muskegon, Michigan (June 1918).

O'Keeffe may have lived briefly with Rush in New York in 1915, while Schille and Rush were participating in the women's suffrage exhibition at the Macbeth Gallery together. Rush became friends with several New Mexico artists. Bettina Raphael, a conservator in Santa Fe, has given lectures on Rush and claimed that O'Keeffe and Rush were close enough friends that they shared a cat named Anselmo. It is possible that O'Keeffe then knew Schille through Rush, and saw her New Mexican watercolors; both artists painted the play of light on the New Mexican Ranchos de Taos church, first Schille in 1919 and later O'Keeffe in 1929. For Bettina Raphael's statement on Rush and O'Keeffe's friendship see: "A Hoosier in Santa Fe: Artist Olive Rush," Pasatiempo (December 5, 2014).
Letters date between 1908-22 and are often directly from the Director and/or his secretary. After bringing a class of Columbus Art School students to visit the Carnegie Institute in the spring of 1908, Schille sent a note of gratitude from Ohio, indicative of the close relationship she fostered with the Carnegie: "We came home in high spirits, had a beautiful time on the train, that was because we were happy, n'est pas? Next day we made everyone envious with our account of the hospitality of Carnegie Institute and our enjoyment of the exhibition. Many of the students who did not go wished they did. Next year, I feel sure there will be a larger pilgrimage and even this year we have interested a number of people who will go over to see the exhibition later. We can't be sufficiently grateful for your own personal interest. Please express to Mr. Beatty our appreciation of his kindness and also to the men who gave us their time. Won't you be coming to Columbus sometimes or passing this way? Please let me know if you do... " Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.

A clipping from an unidentified newspaper was published in the Columbus Art League History, vol. 3, Columbus, Ohio: Columbus Art League (1985), p. 71. The clipping is titled: "French View of the Art of Kinsman Waters," It mentions that Waters' watercolors had been recently reviewed in the Revue Moderne in Paris, translated as "Among the younger men in America whose work is stamped with rare individuality is Ray Kinsman-Waters" and Schille is mentioned as his influential teacher, "Sound training in the Columbus Art School, under Alice Schille, furnished the only foundation for Mr. Waters' work."
