George Noyes

American (1864-1954)

An Impressionist landscape painter, Noyes lived, worked and exhibited for much of his life in and around Boston, Massachusetts. As a result of this, his subject matter was often the New England countryside, yet his art was also influenced by his studies at the Academie Colarosssi, Paris in the early 1890s, as well as his travels throughout Europe. The exposure Noyes had to European art and the Impressionism movement undoubtedly contributed to his style of painting. In keeping with the Impressionists, Noyes did much of his painting en-plein-air, capturing the scenes before him as they unfolded.

Noyes was a member of the Boston Art Club, the Boston Society of Water Color Painters and Boston Guild of Artists. He exhibited from 1893-1902 at the Boston Art Club, at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, where he won a silver medal, and at many respected galleries in Boston. He taught art classes in Annisquam, MA at the turn of the century, where he had noted artist and illustrator N.C. Wyeth as a pupil.
