James Weiland
Lyme Art Colony
American, (November 30, 1872–July 6, 1968) In Lyme: 1926-1968
The portrait painter James Weiland (1872-1968) was born on November 30, 1872 in Toledo, Ohio. He studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League in New York. He also studied at the Royal Academy in Munich and the Academy Delecluse and Academy Colarossi, both in Paris.

Weiland exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1919, Allied Artists of America, Brooklyn Society of Artists, Lyme Art Association, Art Institute of Chicago, and the Society of Independent Artists. His early career was as an illustrator for newpapers.

He was a member of the Lyme Art Association, the Allied Artists of America, the Provincetown Artists’ Association, the Salmagundi Club, and the Artists Guild of Chicago.

His work can be found in the Connecticut State Capital, the Florence Griswold Museum, Old Lyme, the United States National Museum, the Connecticut State Library, the Connecticut Supreme Court, Western reserve University, and the Granby, Connecticut Library. His work is also in the Court Houses at New London, Putnam, Willimantic, Bridgeport, and Hartford, Connecticut.

Weiland moved from the New York City to a farm in the Hamburg section of Lyme, Connecticut around 1927. Like so many other artists he was attracted to Lyme because of its combination of beautiful landscapes and boating activities along the Connecticut River. Unlike many artists, Weiland continued to paint portraits with a renewed vigor.

James Weiland died on July 6, 1968.
