Leonardo On-Line Camouflage Bibliography A biography, written by his daughter, of a prominent 19thcentury American painter who collaborated with abbott H. thayer on early camouflage experiments. http://www.leonardo.info/isast/spec.projects/camouflagebib.html
Extractions: Order Index/Search Home About Us ... Whats New Compiled by Roy R. Behrens. E-mail: ballast@netins.net The wartime use of camouflage is by no means a modern invention; it is as old as human history. But its importance increased during World War I as a result of the use of the airplane and photography for aerial observation. The first section de camouflage in military history was established in 1915 by the French, under the command of an artist, and thereafter comparable units were used by the British and Americans, and, to lesser extent, by the Germans, Italians, and Russians. These units were largely made up of camoufleurs who in civilian life had been artists of one kind or another, including fine artists, designers, and architects. As a result, literally hundreds of artists served during both World Wars, by participants on all sides of the conflicts, as military or civil defense camouflage experts, including such familiar names as Abbott H. Thayer, Jean-Louis Forain, Jacques Villon, Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac, Franz Marc, Oskar Schlemmer, Edward Wadsworth, William Stanley Hayter, Arshile Gorky, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Ellsworth Kelly. This following bibliography is an incomplete list of books, exhibition catalogs and articles that contain information on the contributions of artists to modern studies of camouflage, both biological and military. A far more extensive bibliography, without annotations, can be found in R.R. Behrens

Extractions: Abbot Handerson Thayer As a painter of portraits, landscapes, animals and the ideal figure, he won high rank among American artists. Among his best-known pictures are Virgin Enthroned, Caritas, In Memoriam, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Portrait of a Young Woman; and he did some decorative work for the Walker Art Building, Bowdoin College, Maine. Thayer is also well known as a naturalist. He developed a theory of "protective coloration" in animals, which has attracted considerable attention among naturalists. According to this theory, "animals are painted by nature darkest on those parts which tend to be most lighted by the sky's light, and vice versa"; and the earth-brown of the upper parts, bathed in sky-light, equals the skylight color of the belly, bathed in earth-yellow and shadow. One of Thayer's most controversial theories purported that "large-scale protective coloration (or camouflage) had the unique capacity to bewilder and confuse the mind, especially when present in small spaces." For this theory, which he was never able to successfully prove, he drew some criticism among his peers. He spent the early part of his career in New York City. Thayer declined an invitation to join the Ten American Painters and settled in Dublin, New Hampshire in 1901. He was part of the art colony near Mount Monadnock.

The Art Of Camo « MadSilence Gift of the heirs of abbott Handerson thayer. 1950.2.15. Hidden talents The Camouflage Paintings of Abbot Handerson thayer, by Emily Gephart, http://madsilence.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/the-art-of-camo/

Itâs interesting to note that camouflage was associated from its beginnings with art and artists. Camouflage, the concealing of things, especially troops and military equipment, by disguising them to look like their surroundings, has become an important aspect of modern warfare. The first section de camouflage in military history was established in 1915 by the French, under the command of an artist, and thereafter comparable units were used by the British and Americans, and, to lesser extent, by the Germans, Italians, and Russians. These units were largely made up of camoufleurs who in civilian life had been artists of one kind or another, including fine artists, designers, and architects. As a result, literally hundreds of artists served during both World Wars, by participants on all sides of the conflicts, as military or civil defense camouflage experts, including such familiar names as Abbott H. Thayer, Jean-Louis Forain, Jacques Villon, Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac, Franz Marc, Oskar Schlemmer, Edward Wadsworth, William Stanley Hayter, Arshile Gorky, Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Ellsworth Kelly. Artists were put into service in World War I to camouflage equipment and installations. Gertrude Stein famously reported the remarks of Picasso and Braque, viewing camouflaged military equipment on parade in Paris at the beginning World War I.

Extractions: Capital Culture FOUR BLOCKS NORTH of the main tourist attractions on the Washington Mall lies a cultural gem no Scorpion reader visiting the anti-nation's capital should miss. The National Museum of American Art along with the National Portrait Gallery, is housed in the Old Patent Building. The main entrance is located on F Street between 7th and 9th Streets. The building itself is of historical and architectural interest, being a Greek Revivial building, "temple of the useful arts", begun in 1836. The principle enticement for a vist, however, will be found on the second floor of the N.M.A.A. Here are exhibited numerous works of nineteenth and early twentieth century art which explicitly celebrates Northern European aesthetics. The second half of the nineteeth century and the early years of this century can now be viewed as the latest (hopefully not the last) efflorescence of Northern civilization. Nordic societies were at a high water mark of power, wealth and knowledge vis- -vis the rest of mankind. They were in the midst of a technical-industrial revolution at home which provided the impetus to complete the settlement of two continents (North America and Australia) and the exploration of another (Antartica). Expansiveness of spirit was in part a cause and in part a result of the physical and material advancement of the race. Nordics of this era generally felt a consciousness of kind, a pride in the present and a faith in the future. The psychological environment animated most Northern artists of the day to extol traditional Western aesthetics in their creations.

Generations, The Artistic Influence Of An American Master Her uncle, abbott H.thayer (18491921), reigned as the artistic beacon from which generations, including his daughter, Gladys thayer Reasoner (ca. http://clubs.plattsburgh.edu/museum/gen_ferris.htm
Extractions: Generations of artists are not uncommon. In the families of Pieter Brueghel, Charles Willson Peale, N. C. Wyeth, and Abbott Handerson Thayer, a prominent father/artist figure generally assumed the responsibility of guiding his own children's technical development. In the family of Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), however, this was not the case. Kent's influence came not through direct instruction but from the physical presence of his work-paintings, drawings, prints, booksand his strong philosophical convictions. There is no precedence in the Kent family for a direct artistic lineage, per se, though, Kent's great uncle, Cleveland Rockwell (1837-1907), his cousin, Alice Kent Stoddard Pearson (ca. 1885-1976), his aunt, Ellen Josephine Holgate ('Auntie Jo,' 1858-1935), and his sister Dorothy Kent (1888-1981), all practiced the fine arts with varying degrees of success. To this broad stream, which culminates in the current exhibition, must be added the family of Kathleen Whiting Kent, Rockwell Kent's first wife. Her uncle, Abbott H.Thayer (1849-1921), reigned as the artistic beacon from which generations, including his daughter, Gladys Thayer Reasoner (ca. 1886-1945), and son, Gerald, have been guided, both stylistically and topically.
