"ART; Wondering About Putnam, By Vivien Raynor, Obituary, The New York Times
WALLACE PUTNAM died in 1989 at the age of 90. He was a painter that many people have heard of, but seemingly few know much about him. After a 1987 retrospective at the Somerstown Gallery and a recent display at the Luise Ross Gallery in Manhattan, the 17 canvases assembled by Kristina Amadeus at the Public Library here provide an opportunity to wonder again about the artist.
Putnam, born in Massachusetts, attended the department of fine arts at Harvard Art School, the Boston Museum School, the Boston Normal Art School and the Hartford School of Art, spending no more than a year at each. It is a record that suggests at the very least a temperament ready for the Modernist rebellion."
