Description: 2 Antique Art Nouveau Watercolor Flowers Paintings by Elizabeth H T Huntington. Elizabeth Hamilton Thayer Huntington, (October 8, 1878 – 1963) was a well listed, prolific and noteworthy artist. These are genuine hand painted watercolors, both are correctly signed by the artist. One measures 11 3/4" x 16" and I retained the original gallery label on the back side from Malcolm G Stevens of Arlington Mass. The larger one measures 15" x 20" and this painting also features butterflies. Very Art Nouveau style and both probably date to 1910-1920 era. No frame or mattes - just the actual panels of artwork both in very good condition - see detailed photos. Elizabeth Hamilton Huntington, (October 8, 1878 – 1963) was a 20th-century American painter best known for her still life and floral paintings, often executed in pastel on paper.Elizabeth Hamilton Thayer (later Elizabeth Hamilton Huntington) was born in South Braintree, Massachusetts in 1878. Huntington was related to the painter Abbot Thayer, via her mother, Alexander Hamilton.She attended the Massachusetts College of the Arts in Boston where she studied under Ernest Lee Major.During her engagement to her future husband, Raymond, Huntington was diagnosed with polio that paralyzed the right side of her body. In order to continue painting she had to manipulate her non-functional right arm using her left arm. Huntington's husband hand made a desk that could be fit to a car in order for her to paint.Huntington's disability greatly affected her ability to take part in the art community of Boston. Huntington created a salon in her home, where people would show their art and give lectures. In 1933, this group became officially known as the Wellesley Society of Artists The WSA is still in operation today.Huntington's work was exhibited in the late 2000s and early 2010s both at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Massachusetts and at the now-defunct Floria Museum for Women Artists in DeLand, Florida. Huntington's work was collected by champions of the unknown, like Samuel M. Robbins of Newton, Massachusetts.Huntington married Raymond Edwards Huntington on June 9, 1909 in Wollaston, Massachusetts.Huntington painted until her death in 1963.Huntington left approximately 5,000 works in oil, pastel, and watercolor.A collection of her materials is held at the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art and the Peabody Essex Museum library.
