Biography: One of South Bend, Indiana's best-known landscape painters of the 20th century, George Ames Aldrich became most associated with richly painted impressionist landscapes with water of Brittany and Normandy. He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on June 3, 1872. His early art experience took place in the 1890's while living in Europe. He studied art in the Midwest, the East Coast, and throughout Europe, becoming a successful and respected etcher and painter. He worked as an illustrator for both Punch magazine and The London Times in the 1890's. Aldrich continued his art education in Paris, attending Academies Julian and Colarossi, and later joining the Societe des Artistes Francais. His personal style was refined as he spent several years traveling throughout Europe. Between 1909 and 1910, Aldrich lived with artist/instructor Dieppe, completing many of his most popular paintings in Normandy and Brittany. His work is represented in many museums throughout the world, and many private and corporate collections carry his work including the Union League of Chicago and the War Mothers Building in Washington DC.
