Manley (1853 - 1938) One of New Jersey’s foremost Impressionist painters, as well as an etcher and lithographer, Thomas Manley was known as “The Dean of Montclair Artists”. Born in Buffalo, New York in 1853, Manley first attempted to study law. Uninspired by the legal profession, he scraped together enough money to study for two months at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Thomas Eakins’s life class. While in Philadelphia, he met Joseph Pennell and became intrigued with the famous etcher’s work. Manley moved to New York to freelance in etching and painting, quickly achieving success selling his own work. Newspapers and magazines were publishing Manley’s illustrations at a time when it was still technologically difficult to print photos on newsprint. New York’s leading print dealer, Frederick Keppel, began to sell Manley’s etchings and Manley would supply plates to New York dealers and publishers for years to follow. Manley painted bright colored landscapes with a unique style of applying thick impasto in short dashing strokes, giving his paintings a textured pointillist effect his most common subjects are scenes of rural New Jersey and views of the Morris Canal. He was a member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Arts Club, and the New York Watercolor Club. He exhibited at the Boston Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis (1904 medal), the Society of Independent Arts, the National Academy of Design, and the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, 1915.
