Biography: Samuel Lancaster Gerry was born and died in Boston. In 1854 a group of Boston artists, including Gerry, formed an association that they called The Boston Art Club. S.L.Gerry was president for a term during the period between 1854 and The Boston Art Club's first incorporation in 1871. In 1868 he was a Trustee. Gerry was considered a formidable force in the local Boston scene, and became a teacher to a few talented local young artists, including the famous artist Joseph Frank Currier. It has been noted that several versions of his White Mountain and Adirondack Paintings of the 1870s were composites of sketches done in different distant locations, melded together with varied foregrounds to create panoramic vistas of the mountains. The industrial cities of Boston and New York were turning their sites to the disappearing Eastern wilderness at this time and views and news of the then far away reaches became popular, albeit occasionally fictitious.
