An elegant Oil on canvas.

Biographic:

Active Springfield Mass.
American Postimpressionist, born in Salem, Connecticut, who painted as brightly as Van
Gogh, but in the optical tradition of Monet.

Rich colours were appreciated by the American public; in
1914 a critic in the Buffalo, New York Express found her work “rich in tonal effects… and very atmospheric.

Richard H. Love: Historian and dealer wrote; …"like all American painters who learned Monets method by "once removed application" Lumis tended to make strong separations between colour areas; but she also succeeded in unifying her paintings.

She married architect Fred Lumis and in 1893, began art studies in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Harriet Lumis was a pupil of Willis Seaver Adams, and studied landscape painting under Leonard Ochtman from whom she learned the tonalist style. She also studied under
Hugh Henry Breckenridge, Mary Hubbard, James Hall and Edward Parker Hayden.

A co-founder of the Springfield Art League and a founding member of the Academic Artists Association, a group opposed to abstract art.
