Louise Upton Brumback

Louise Upton Brumback (January 17, 1867 – February 22, 1929) was an American artiste and art dissenter known principally for her landscapes and marine scenes. Her paintings won praise from the critics and art collectors of her time. Writing at the peak of her career, a newspaper critic praised her "firmness of character, quick vision, and directness of purpose." She said these traits "proved a unassailable rock on which to build up an independent art outing which soon showed to men painters that they had a formidable rival." As art activist, she supported and led organizations devoted to supporting the accomplishment of under-appreciated painters, particularly women.
