Art Word of the Day: Toledo tile club
Term: Toledo tile club
Definition: Founded in the early 1890s
in Toledo, Ohio, and led by George Washington Stevens, the group was dedicated to establishing an art museum in Toledo. They felt the need for a place for exhibitions like people were able to see in other big cities such as New York and Boston. They were successful, with one of the key facilitators being Edward Drummond Libbey of the Libbey Glass Company, who provided substantial funding. Recognizing the leadership of Stevens, who served as Museum Director for 23 years, museum personnel published a biography of him: 'George W. Stevens' in the "Museum News", Spring, 1966. The author was Blake-More Godwin. Source: Edward Bentley, Fine Art Researcher, Lansing, Michigan.
Art Word of the Day
Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
