About the Artist:
Julius M. Delbos, born in 1879 in London, England, was a landscape painter, teacher, and lecturer. He was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design, New York City, in 1945, an Academician in 1948. He was also a member of the American Watercolor Society; the New York Watercolor Club; the Society of Graphic Art; Old Dudley Art Society, London; American Artists Professional League; National Arts Club; and the Century Club.
Delbos exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C. in 1930 and 1937; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, in 1930 and 1936; Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; New York Watercolor Club, in 1935, where he won a prize; National Arts Club; Connecticut Academy of Fine Art; Society of Independent Artists; American Watercolor Society, winning prizes; and the Salons of America.
Delbos' paintings are in the collections of the Butler Art Institute, Youngstown, Ohio; Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Yale University Artists Guild, New Haven, Connecticut; and New York Public Library. He is listed in Who Was Who in American Art. Julian M. Delbos died in Dover, New Jersey in 1970. Source: BHNY Fine Art
Delbos worked in both oil and watercolor, yet it was in the latter that his gifts truly shone, earning him praise from critics for their spirit and energy. In recognition, the Academy, which had only allowed watercolor submissions beginning in the mid-1940s, named him an Associate in 1945 and a full Academician only three years later. He was also a member of the American Watercolor Society, the New York Watercolor Club, the National Arts Club and the American Artists Professional League, among other groups.
In addition to the National Academy, Delbos exhibited his work in the 1930s at the Corcoran Gallery and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, with New York’s Babcock Galleries (1942) and Kleeman Galleries (1943), and with the Art Institute of Chicago from 1923 until 1944. The titles of his paintings from these venues reveal him to be incredibly well-traveled, finding inspiration from his native Europe to the deep American South to the Maine coastline. However, the island of Martha’s Vineyard, where he began summering as early as the 1920s and continued to do so for decades, appears to have been his favorite. Source: Vose Gallery less
