Horace Day
Horace Day was born in Amoy, China, in 1909 to American missionary parents. He graduated from Shanghai American School in 1927 and came to the United States where he studied at the Art Students League in New York.
Horace Day first exhibited his work at the
Art Institute of Chicago in 1931. From 1933 until World War II,
he was represented by the Macbeth Gallery. He was the Director
of Painting at the Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, GA, from
1936 until 1941 and a proffesor of art at Mary Baldwin College
in Staunton, VA, from 1942 until 1967.
Horace Day spent a lot of time painting in South Carolina, particularly
in Charleston and on Edisto Island. He also traveled widely in
the United States, as well as to Italy and the Caribbean. He died
in 1984.
Elizabeth Nottingham
(Day)
Horace Day's wife, Elizabeth Nottingham (Day),
was born in 1907 in Salisbury, NC, and began painting as a young
child. She is known primarily for her landscapes, painted from
life and in the outdoors. After graduating from Randolph-Macon
College, Elizabeth Nottingham Day enrolled in the Art Students
League from 1928-1931, where she was awarded a fellowship for
travel and study in Europe. After marrying Horace Day, she taught
at Mary Baldwin College in VA, where she remained until her death
in 1956.
Elizabeth Nottingham Day, who was included in Art in America's
Annual Listing of New Talent (1956), exhibited in The Corcoran
Gallery of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum
of American Art, The Rockefeller Center and The Gibbes Art Gallery.
Her work is held by The Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Randolph-Macon
Woman's College, Mary Baldwin College and New Britain Museum of
American Art, as well as corporate and private collections.
In addition to being Charleston's oldest gallery specializing
in the art of the Charleston Renaissance, Carolina Galleries also
features contemporary paintings celebrating the region's continuing
aesthetic evolution. A walk through the gallery, which has been
widely featured in major national magazines, is equivalent to
a journey through time, with works on display spanning from the
1850's to the present. Landscapes and genre scenes represent two
centuries in Charleston art, with a primary focus on nineteenth
and twentieth century masterpieces.
