Biography from Newman Galleries:
| Dorcas Cooke Doolittle was an early 20th century modernist who explored
the contemporary European trends in painting, including Cubism* and
Expressionism*. Born in Philadelphia in 1901, Ms. Doolittle
received formal academic training at the Philadelphia School of Design
for Women*, now the Moore College of Art.
After graduating in 1923, the artist went on to further study at the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts*. In 1926, the Academy
granted her their Cresson Traveling Scholarship* for travel, and Ms. Doolittle spent
some time painting in Europe. The artist concluded her studies at
the Academy, under the tutelage of Hugh Breckenridge in 1927.
From 1927 until the middle 1940's, Ms. Doolittle exhibited at the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts*, the Woodmere Art Gallery, the
Plastic Club-Philadelphia*, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance.
Doolittle was married twice, adopting the names Bastian and McClelland
at different junctures in her life. She lived all of her life in
the Philadelphia area and taught summer school in the artist's colony
of Gloucester, Massachusetts.
The artist died in 1993.
