A Unique Slant of Light: The Bicentennial History of Art in Louisiana - (Page 155)

CHARLES WOODWARD HUTSON b. 1840, Beaufort District, South Carolina d. 1936, New Orleans, Louisiana Untitled (Boat on River), ca. 1925 Oil on board; 13 x 10 in. Edward Thorp Gallery Charles Hutson’s three decades of early twentieth-century art forms, rendered in pastels and oils, never fit easily into traditional categories, yet he has been described by a number of curators and scholars and exhibited as a self-taught artist. Others, however, have described him as a “visionary artist,” a “proto-modernist,” and even an early modernist. Hutson was born in South Carolina in 1840 and moved to New Orleans in 1908, after he retired from the faculty at Texas A&M. Before retiring, by age sixty-seven he had trained as a lawyer in South Carolina, been wounded as a soldier in the Confederate army, and had established his reputation as a scholar and historian as a writer for periodicals, a book editor, and a professor at colleges and universities in Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky.
