Woodward, Robert Strong, 1885-1957
Variant namesLandscape and still-life painter; Boston, Mass.
Prolific painter of still lifes, as well as landscapes and rural scenes of western Massachusetts and southern Vermont. At 21, a revolver accident left him paralyzed, and he was confined to a wheelchair. Painting, which had been his hobby, became his career. His only formal art training was at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where he studied for less than a year. In 1919, he won the first Hallgarten prize for landscape at the National Academy of Design. He had regular exhibitions at Vose Galleries of Boston and at regional museums.
