Francis Cunningham (painter)

Francis Cunningham (born 1931) is an American figurative painter known for working across three genres – nude, landscape and still-life—and for being an influential teacher. He co-founded the New Brooklyn School of Life, Painting, Drawing & Sculpture, Inc. (1980-1983), and the New York Academy of Art (1983-1985).
== Biography ==

Born in New York City in 1931, Francis Cunningham grew up in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where at the age of 16 he caught the attention of artist, Ben Shahn. He was further encouraged by his godmother, the Boston draftsman and painter Polly Thayer Starr. He graduated from Harvard College in 1953. After two years as a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, he attended the Art Students League of New York (1955-1959), where he studied drawing and anatomy with Robert Beverly Hale and painting with Edwin Dickinson. Francis Cunningham, as with Dickinson and Dickinson’s teacher, Charles Hawthorne, is part of an unconventional approach to realism and representation in American painting that began in 1914. They share a way of looking and painting summarized in the term “color-spots” that Hawthorne invented, Dickinson practiced and taught, and that Cunningham developed and passed on as a technique.
Cunningham began teaching at the City College of New York (1962-1965) and the Brooklyn Museum Art School (1962-1980). His Sunday high school scholarship class at BMAS came to be known for its nontraditional methods of figurative painting, observing directly from nature using a plumb-line and finder, and putting down on the flat surface of the canvas abstracted color-value notes. Students included Peter Colquhoun, Israel Hershberg, Richard Leto and Ephraim Rubenstein. “Francis Cunningham taught us all how to see,” said Rubenstein. “He continually implored us to look at nature freshly ‘like a new-born babe,’ or like ‘a man from Mars,’ who had never laid eyes before on the things of this earth”. Cunningham taught at the Art Students League of New York (1980-1983). In 1980, he co-founded The New Brooklyn School of Life, Painting, Drawing & Sculpture, Inc., with the sculptor, Barney Hodes. Together they also co-founded with Stuart Pivar The New York Academy of Art (1983-1985), which continues to operate in 2013.
