- Louisville native Patty Thum was one of the most influential
figures in local art from the Victorian period through the 1920s.
She had a national audience thanks to popular lithographic reproductions
of her flower paintings. She also helped determine the city's
artistic agenda though her writings about art, primarily as a
critic for the Louisville Herald.
Thum first studied art at Vassar College, then at the Art Students
League with William Merritt Chase. She returned to Louisville
in the 1870s and began her art career. In the 1880s she headed
back to New York briefly for study with Thomas Eakins.
She exhibited in Cincinnati, St. Louis, New York and Chicago.
-
- She was represented in the ground-breaking exhibition Kentucky
Women Artists: 1850-2000 in 2001-2002.
