Art and book of the week for this week is actually 2 oil paintings, Landscape with Summerhouse and Winter Sheep Scene by Marie Dorothy Dolph, and the book The Complete Oil Painter by Brian Gorst.

Born and raised in Baraboo Wisconsin, Dolph studied at the University of Minnesota from 1901 to 1903 after having taught school in Wisconsin and North Dakota to finance her education. From 1906-1908 she attended art school and business college in Milwaukee, and then following this in 1908 she attended the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied under world renowned artists Alphonse Mucha and Antonin Serba.

Dolph returned to Wisconsin after this and in 1913 married Royal Jay Dolph, and shortly thereafter quit painting. At the invitation of her uncle, Captain Henry Palmer the couple moved to a homestead 12 miles outside of Casper on the Platte River near Goose Egg Mountain. She lived there until 1921, then moved to Casper, where they would stay till the 1940’s.

It was after the move to Casper that Dolph returned to painting. She was commissioned to paint a dream house for a local convention, then began painting at a furious pace, at one point is said to have completed over 1,500 images of Yellowstone National Park in just two years. Widespread recognition came to Dolph in 1936 when she exhibited at the Rockafeller Center in New York with the National Exhibition of American Art.

Dolph painted well into her 90’s and traveled all the lower 48 states and much of Canada. She showed extensively around Wyoming, and Yellowstone in particular, with various federal art projects and WPA sponsored exhibitions.

If you’d like to see Dolphs paintings or check out the book from our resource room, stop by and see us.
