Her career spanned more than forty years and included a long tenure as an instructor at the Columbus School of Art and prestige as Columbus's premiere oil portraitist to the city's wealthiest and most privileged citizens. During her summer breaks from teaching, Schille traveled extensively to many points across the globe. Many of her finest watercolors hail from these summer travels. These paintings record her fascination with the variety of human life that she encountered through their sensitive portrayal of local inhabitants and surroundings.</p> <p>The works she created on her travels also reflect her study of several important artistic movements of the early modernist era in Europe. The artistic trends of French Post- Impressionism become particularly evident in her work of the teens and later. The scope of this thesis covers a specific body of paintings that she completed slightly earlier, during visits to the Netherlands in the first decade of the twentieth century. These paintings will be discussed in the context of her career as a whole, considering the ways that they are consistent with artistic concerns she held throughout her life. This thesis also considers the influence of the Hague School on her Dutch works and finally examines her works in relation to those of some other American artists who worked in the Netherlands at this time.</p> 1996 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1166206783 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1166206783 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
