Neil Welliver

A gruff, muscular man who chewed tobacco and somewhat resembled Ernest Hemingway in both appearance and machismo, Mr. Welliver was born in the Pennsylvania lumber town of Millville on July 22, 1929. He graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art (now part of the University of the Arts) and received a master's of fine arts degree from Yale University, where he studied with the noted abstract artist Josef Albers.</NITF>

<NITF>Mr. Welliver taught at Yale from 1956 to 1966, even as his own style evolved from abstract color-field paintings to watercolors of domestic and small-town scenes. After discovering Maine in the early 1960s, he switched to oil paintings and often portrayed female nudes in outdoor settings. By the mid-1970s, he had eliminated the human figure from his work, focusing on his closely observed impressions of the Maine landscape. </NITF>
