Biography/History

Joseph Cummings Chase was born May 5, 1878 in Kents Hill, Maine and spent most of his life in the East. He studied art at the Pratt Institute in New York City, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Academie Julian in Paris France. Chase came to national fame as a portrait artist especially during World War I when he was commissioned as a painter by the army for six months and asked to paint portraits of prominent members of the military. In all, Chase painted or drew 142 portraits of both American and French soldiers during the war which included future general Douglas MacArthur. Many of these portraits appear in his book Soldiers All which was first published in 1920.

After the war he continued to work in the art industry. He painted actors and actresses through his connections as a member of the Players Club in New York City. He also had the opportunity to paint such important American figures such as General and later, President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and actor Charles Coburn. He also served as Dean of the Art Program at Hunter College, and published multiple books on art and portraiture. Chase married Cora E. Binzel in 1945. They moved to Milwaukee in 1954 where he spent the last years of his life while continuing to work on portraiture and sketch art until his death on January 15, 1965. Many of Chase's original works were auctioned at an estate sale to benefit the Red Cross after his passing, while other works of his still reside at the Smithsonian Institution.

Scope and Content Note

The materials in the collection seek to document Chase's work as a portrait and sketch artist both through his work and his contributions to the profession as a professor and dean at Hunter College in New York City. As both a writer and portrait painter, Chase was especially noted for his portraits of members of the U.S. Armed Forces during World War I and World War II. In addition to the armed forces personnel, Chase painted portraits of many notables, such as cabinet members, ambassadors, and other government officials, as well as actors and musicians.

More detailed scope and content notes of each series are provided in the contents list. The finding aid also includes an appendix listing the individual subjects in the portrait index.
