Howard Chandler Christy

Biography

Howard Chandler Christy (1872-1952) is remembered for his contributions to the field of illustration in his documentarian role during the Spanish-American War, his creation of the 'Christy Girl,' and most notably today, for his patriotic poster designs for World War I.

As an aspiring artist, Christy received formal training in art in New York City at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design—two schools responsible for turning out some of the most prolific and celebrated illustrators of the century. He studied under the renowned impressionist artist, William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) at The Art Students League.

With the abrupt onset of the Spanish-American War in 1898, an impassioned Christy offered his services and traveled with United States troops to Cuba. He used his draftsman skills to document the events of battle with pen and ink illustrations that were published to accompany articles about the war’s progress.

Elisabeth Gordon Chandler

American sculptor

Elisabeth Gordon Chandler (June 10, 1913 – November 29, 2006) was an American sculptor and educator, and the founder of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.

Life and work

Elisabeth Gordon Chandler was born in St. Louis, Missouri, initially trained as a harpist, and was performing professionally by the age of eighteen. However, as a young woman she decided to pursue a career in the visual arts, and in New York City studied sculpture with Edmondo Quattocchi, and anatomy with Robert Beverly Hale at the Art Students League of New York.

Chandler received a number of honors; her first award came in 1945, when her bronze figure Victory won first prize in the Brooklyn War Memorial competition. Subsequently, she garnered awards from the National Academy of Design and the National Sculpture Society, and was the recipient of the Governor's Art Award, State of Connecticut, and an Honorary Doctorate from St. Joseph's College, West Hartford, Connecticut.
