Description
Bessie Nye (1889 – 1967). "Woman Sewing". Oil on Paper. Dimensions: 8" x 6”. Comes matted & framed under glass. Framed: 16"x 12". Bessie Nye was a young Rhode Island woman artist who entered RISD for an art education and to train for a professional career in the graphic arts. After a remarkable education without any pressure to become financially independent she dabbled in producing notecards and designing flyers for local community organizations. Financially supported by her family Nye painted for her own leisurely occupation despite her substantial talent and excellent art training. At RISD her marks were always at the top of her class, she just chose to continue as a non-professional for the remainder of her life.
