Martin Johnson Heade
American, (1819–1904)
Martin Johnson Heade was born to a prosperous farm family in a small town some twenty-five miles north of Philadelphia. His first art training came in his late teens, from a neighbor who happened to be one of the most celebrated of folk artists: Edward Hicks. Heades early work, during the 1840s, evolved out of his folk tradition. Heade traveled widely in his 20s both in Europe and in this country, before settling in New York in 1866. By then he had settled on a style that emphasized meticulous topographic and atmospheric detail, which he applied to his renderings of the haystacks and salt marshes of New England. He became a master of the Luminist style, in which landscape forms, even those in the distance, are precisely noted and sharply focused.
