Summary:
The papers of painter F. Edwin Church (1876-1975) measure 0.7 linear feet and date from circa 1882-2012.

Scope and Contents:
The papers of painter F. Edwin Church (1876-1975) measure 0.7 linear feet and date from circa 1882-2012. The papers include correspondence relating primarily to loans and sales of Church's Japanese art collection and his own artwork, sketches and a study on panel for a painting, and biographical information including photos of Church and his family. Also found is correspondence relating to family genealogy, which is especially significant since Church had the same name as Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).
Arrangement:
The collection is arranged as one series.
Biographical / Historical:
F. (Frederic) Edwin Church (1876-1975) was a painter in New York, New York, best known for his portraits.

Church attended the Art Students League and the Académie Julien in Paris and was awarded the Clark Prize in 1916 by the National Academy of Design for best figurative composition.

His works included gilded-age portraits, impressionist landscapes, and still lifes. He used botanical and bird motifs in many of his backgrounds, indicative of the Japanese influence in his work.

Church signed his works F. Edwin Church in order to distinguish himself from the unrelated Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).
Related Materials:
Also found in the Archives of American Art are the Frederic Edwin Church letters to Charles F. Olney, 1891-1896.
Provenance:
Donated in 2022 by Jan Wiley, scholar and authorized representative of the Church family. Wiley worked with Mary Grothe, F. Edwin Church's granddaughter, to organize and compile the material.
