Biography: Charles Wellington Boyle, Charles Washington Boyle (born March 9, 1861 in Lewisburg, Louisiana, †February 9, 1925 in New Orleans) was an American painter, art teacher and curator and director of the Delgado Museum of Art. Charles Wellington Boyle was born in 1861 as the son of J. F. Boyle and Bertha F. Fortich in Lewisburg (according to some sources also New Orleans). He received his artistic education at the New York School of Art* and the Art Students League of New York, where he was a student of the painter Robert Henri and Frank Vincent DuMond. In New Orleans Boyle was taught by Paul Poincy and Andres Molinary. Together they founded the artist group Southern Art Union* in 1880 and five years later the Artists' Association of New Orleans. As part of this organization, Boyle regularly exhibited his works and taught elementary classes for a number of years. He also taught art at Ruston College and in New Orleans at the Louisiana Valence Institute (1892), the Ferrels School for Boys and the Home Institute (1900-1908; 1910-1912). Boyle had a house in Mandeville, Louisiana, which often served as an artists' meeting place and whose environment was inspiration for some of his paintings such as Cypress Studded Coastline. In 1911 Boyle became the first curator of the newly founded Delgado Museum of Art (later renamed the New Orleans Museum of Art). From 1922 until his death in 1925, he directed the museum. Boyle worked mainly as an art teacher. He was also a landscape, portrait and genre painter and restorer. He can be classified as a representative of early Impressionism in Louisiana. His works, especially oil paintings, he signed possibly with C.W. Boyle.
