Biography: Maude Drein Bryant was born in Wilmington, Delaware, May 11, 1880. She studied under Thomas Anschutz, Hugh H. Breckenridge, William M. Chase; at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; and the Academie Colarossi in Paris. She married fellow artist Everett Lloyd Bryant on June, 2, 1904. The Bryant's purchased "Brookside Studios" on the Perkiomen Creek in Hendricks, PA shortly after their marriage. Mrs. Bryant paints landscape beautifully, getting the spirit of the outdoors into her canvases, filling them with sunshine and stimulating color - "Plum Trees" is an excellent example - and I believe she would profit greatly in the long run if she would do more of them. "The impressionistic still lifes of Maude Drein Bryant in the Folsom Galleries are excellent in color and handsome as decoration. It is one of the most attractive shows that these galleries have held this winter. Miss Bryant does not permit herself to use much fineness of detail and in one or two of her canvases she has disdained literalism so heartily that one is hard put to it to identify the flowers named in the title with the presentment of them in paint. For the most part the subjects are well chosen for the treatment allotted to them, and the Chinese bowls, lustre teapots and other accessories are handsome enough to be worthy of the flowers they are associated with." - Dec. 27, 1914, New York City.
