Biography

Alice M. Boughton American, 1866-1943 A New Yorker by birth who studied painting in Paris and Rome, and worked as a studio assistant to photographer Gertrude Käsebier, Alice Boughton was one of the best known and most successful of the Photo-Secessionists. In 1890 she opened her own New York studio, which operated until her retirement in 1931. Boughton's work was shown frequently, both nationally and internationally, and was represented in the first exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's gallery "291" (1905). Two years later she showed there again along with William B. Dyer and C. Yarnall Abbott. In 1909 she was published in Camera Work. In addition to portrait work, often with eminent sitters (clients included Maxim Gorky and William Butler Yeats), Boughton photographed children and nudes, as well as allegorical and natural scenes. Her book Photographing the Famous appeared in 1928. T.W.F.
