for George Herbert McCord
1848 - 1909
McCord received some instruction from Moses Morse in 1866, but he maintained that he was primarily "self-instructed." A landscape and marine painter, he traveled widely, sketching in England, France, Holland, Canada, and on the East and West coasts of the United States. Much of his American travel apparently was done between 1875 and 1878. McCord was a member of the American Watercolor Society, the Salmagundi Club, and the Artists' Fund Society, of which he was secretary from 1878 to 1880. His works began appearing in Academy annual exhibitions in 1870, and they were rarely missing thereafter.
In later years McCord's dealer was William Macbeth, who occasionally helped him through hard times by advancing him money. Although for a period in the late 1880s he lived in Morristown, New Jersey, he spent most of his career in New York.
McCord was the lender of a painting by De Luce, entitled simply Portrait, when it was shown in the Academy annual of 1900; this suggests that there was some sustained association between the two artists.
