Pauline Lennards Palmer was active/lived in Illinois / Norway. Pauline Palmer is known for landscape, interiors, portrait and genre painting.


Pauline Lennards was born in McHenry, Illinois in 1867. She attended a convent in Milwaukee for her schooling and later began her art study at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1878, she was made supervisor of art for the Chicago public school system. She continued her work at the Art Institute and married Dr. Albert Palmer in 1891. He encouraged her to persist in her study of art and along with William Merritt Chase, her teacher for two years at the Art Institute, advised her to study in Paris.

During the 1890s, Mrs. Palmer studied under Simon, Collin and Courtois in Paris. She won a gold medal at the Colarossi Academy and a bronze medal at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere. While in Paris she exhibited at the Paris Salon for four consecutive years, from 1903 to 1906, and then again in 1911. Her principal teacher and friend in Paris was Richard Emil Miller.

Upon her return to Chicago, Mrs. Palmer set up her studio in the Tree Studios Building and began to build her reputation as the "painter lady." While working in Chicago, she exhibited 32 times at the Art Institute, winning many medals and prizes primarily between 1907 and 1921. She also won medals at an art exhibition in Omaha, Nebraska in 1898, at another exhibit in Buffalo, New York in 1901, at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, and at the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915. After her husband died in 1921, Mrs. Palmer moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts with Charles W. Hawthorne and set up a new studio.

In both 1913 and 1950, the Art Institute of Chicago installed exhibitions solely featuring works by Pauline Palmer. She became president of the Chicago Society of Artists in 1919--the first woman to hold this position--and president of the Art Institute Alumni Association in 1927. When traveling in Europe in 1938, she became ill in Trondheim, Norway and died of pneumonia on the 15th of August. In 1950, the Art Institute began giving an annual award in her honor.
