INTERESTING NOTES

The Gairing Art galleries of Evanston were custodians of all of her unsold paintings.

“Pauline, whose effervescent personality pervades and enlivens all wherever she appears, expresses herself in spontaneous canvases, be it figure or landscape.”[139]

Critic Bulliet claimed Flora Schofield’s abstract art was the final blow in the severing of relationships between the radical and conservative elements within the Chicago Society of Artists which caused the conservative painters to form the Association of Chicago Painters and Sculptors in 1923. The dispute involved the acceptance of Schofield’s three works into the 1923 Art Institute, Chicago & Vicinity show and pitted well liked Pauline Palmer against known radical Carl Hoeckner; a dispute which spilled over into the Society meeting whereupon Palmer led the split of the organization.[140]

It is interesting that though conservative, Palmer was lamenting the lack of futuristic works for the 1922 Chicago and Vicinity show a the Art Institute of Chicago: “The conservative note in the paintings submitted to the artists’ jury sitting in the Art Institute to select the canvases for the exhibition… is very definite and a little surprising.”[141] She later was quoted commenting on the annual exhibition of American artists at the Art Institute as saying: “I belong to a conservative group, but I have no objections to the modernistic movement; although it has been abused. I think there are some very good things in this show. You know, people sometimes criticize things because they are not done to their way of thinking.”[142]

Her picture of a young girl in a white dress entitled Bubbles, embodied much of what the artist’s work was concerned with.[143] In 1929 her work was featured in a radio appreciation on WGN by Chicago Tribune critic Eleanor Jewett, for the children’s special concert hour.[144]

[1]A good review of her career may be found in C. J. Bulliet, “Artists of Chicago Past and Present,” Chicago Daily News, 2/8/1936, Art, Antiques and The Artists section, p.4.

[2]The family was from Harvard, Illinois in McHenry County. They family is listed in the 1880 Federal Census in Harvard (ED 133, Sheet - Stamped page 66-B, Line 1+). Nicholas Lennards, her father, was a tailor in Harvard, and shown in the McHenry County history of 1885 history, p.449.

[3]She was with her sister Marie Lennards in Norway on an artists’ tour with Illinois artist Dudley Crafts Watson. She caught pneumonia and died ten days later. Marie was executrix of her estate. She left a bequest to the Art Institute for the Chicago and Vicinity shows to offer annual prizes in her name. “‘Gingham Girl,’ by Pauline Palmer, Chicago Journal of Commerce, 8/27/1938. “Pauline Palmer, Noted Artist of Chicago, Dies in Norway,” Chicago Daily News, 8/16/1938. “Pauline Palmer Dies In NorwayOf Pneumonia,” ChicagoHerald & Examiner, 8/16/1938.

Pattison, “Pattison’s Art Talk,” Chicago Journal, 11/7/1903, p.4, discusses Cottet’s influence and her year in Parisstudying. In Currents of Expansion: Painting in the Midwest 1820-1940, (St. Louis: St. Louis Art Museum, 1977), p.129, she is listed as studying with Richard Miller who was head instructor at Colarossi in Paris from 1905-1914 and it is possible, although unconfirmed, that she studied with him there as well as privately.
