Maybelle
( Not for sale except with whole collection
)
Maybelle
was born in Dublin, NH in 1907 as Mabelle
Richardson and raised in the Dublin / Hancock /
Peterboro area of New Hampshire.In the 1920's
she studied under George DeForest Brush in
Dublin.She graduated from Keene, NH in 1927. She
studied at Boston in 1928 & 29 before going
to new York, where she studied from 1930 - 1937.
She married Willson Stamper in 1937. ( This was
an unhappy marriage and this period influenced
her style of work ).She changed her name to
Maybelle and kept her married name of Stamper
for the rest of her life. She followed this by
teaching at the Cinncinati Art Academy from
1938-1943.In the 1940's she visited Nova Scotia
several times with friends and we have
unknown/uncataloged landscapes and
lithographs from this period as well. In
1943-46 she visited Captiva Island in Florida.
She fell in love with the island and made it her
home for the rest of her life. She painted
landscapes, modern art, portraits etc, whatever
it took to survive in the early period ,
becoming a talented, listed and well know artist
through all this. Above all, she is best
known for her lithographs and rightly so. We
have early works of hers on masonite, paper,
paper bags, canvas. As she was a relation, this
description will be added to as time goes on,
and we dig up the notes left by her. Her
work has been in major exibitions from the
1930's through the 1990's. She died in 1995
leaving hundreds of cataloged pieces.
Nearly all of the pieces offered here are NOT
included in her cataloged works. See the
publication "Songs Of Maybelle" assembled
by Jay Williams / McKissick Museum / University
of South Carolina. Maybelle did a lot of her early work at "the box" in the woods of Dublin, NH, and would retreat there for extended periods of time. It no longer exists, and the land no longer belongs to the Richardson family. We have the only existing image of this cabin that we know of, and it was painted by Mabelle ( original spelling of her name ) Some or her exibitions: 1930's - New York - GRD Gallery,Krusharr Gallery,Morton Gallery, Studio Club, Eighth St. Playhouse, Montross Gallery 1930's - Womans Art Club - Cinncinati , Cinncinati Museum of Modern Art 1930's -World's Fair-New York 1940's - Cinncinati Modern Art Society 1960's - R.R.
