 As the first woman to receive a scholarship to the
Cincinnati Art Academy in 1904,
Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer established herself both artistically and
historically. She is known for her tranquil depictions in both the garden
landscape and floral still life. A brilliant colorist, she was one of the
leading women artists of the State of Indiana and has had her work exhibited
all over the United States.
Born in New Castle, Indiana the daughter of a well-known architect, she
studied at Earlham College, Richmond and with Hoosier artists John Elwood
Bundy and J. Ottis Adams. A founder of the Richmond Palette Club, Mrs.
Eggemeyer exhibited in Art Association of Richmond’s Annual Exhibition, John
Herron Art Institute, Cincinnati Art Academy, the Hoosier Salon and the
Brooklyn Museum of Fine Arts, New York.
Mrs. Eggemeyer traveled extensively to paint gardens, including the
gardens of prominent Dayton, Ohio families, Mrs. Fred Rike and Mrs. Robert
Patterson. Equally adept at portraiture, she painted several Richmond
notables including Ellen Bartel. Her work has gained significant recognition
of late, bringing record prices at auction.
