Harriet Randall Lumis

Harriet Randall Lumis (1870-1953) was a Connecticut-born painter.

Utilizing the palette and technique of French Impressionist artists, Lumis was a founding member of the Academic Artists Association, a group opposed to abstract art. She began art studies in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1893. She first painted landscapes and studied at the New York Summer School in Cos Cob, Connecticut. Beginning in 1920, Lumis studied at the School of Art in East Gloucester, Massachusetts. In 1921, she joined the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. In 1949, she invited other traditional, realist artists to her studio. Together, they stood firm against the intrusion of modernism on the art scene, founding the Academic Artists Association. For the remainder of her career, she taught private art lessons and remained true to the plein air method of painting. She died in Springfield, Massachusetts on April 6, 1953. [1]
