Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BLUM, ROBERT FREDERICK (18571903) , American artist, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 9th of July 1857. He was employed for a time in a lithographic shop, and studied at the McMicken Art School of Design in Cincinnati, and at the
Pennsylvania
  Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, but he was practically self-taught, and early showed great and
original
  talent. He settled in New
York
  in 1879, and his first published sketchesof Japanese jugglersappeared in St Nicholas. His most important work is a large
frieze
  in the Mendelssohn Music
Hall
 , New
York
 , " Music and the Dance" (1895). His pen-andink work for the Century magazine attracted wide attention, as did his illustrations for Sir Edwin
Arnold
 's Japonica. In the country and art of Japan he had been interested for many years. " A Daughter of Japan,"
drawn
  by Blum and W. J. Baer, was the cover of Scribner's Magazine for May 1893, and was one of the earliest pieces of colour-printing for an American magazine. In Scribner's for 1893 appeared also his " Artist's Letters from Japan." He was an admirer of Fortuny, whose methods some-what influenced his work. Blum's Venetian pictures, such as " A
Bright
  Day at Venice " (1882), had lively charm and beauty. He died on the 8th of June 1903 in New York City. He was a member of the National Academy of Design, being elected after his exhibition in 1892 of " The Ameya "; and was president of the Painters in Pastel. Although an excellent draughtsman and etcher, it was as a colourist that he chiefly excelled.
