Joseph DeCamp

Joseph Rodefer DeCamp (November 5, 1858 - February 11, 1923) was an American painter.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he studied with Frank Duveneck in that city. In the second half of the 1870s he went with Duveneck and fellow students to the Royal Academy of Munich, then spent time in Florence, Italy, returning to Boston in 1883.

He became known as a member of the Boston School led by Edmund Charles Tarbell, focussing on figure painting, and in the 1890s adopting the style of Tonalism. He was a founder of the Ten American Painters, a group of American impressionists, in 1897.

A 1904 fire in his Boston studio destroyed several hundreds of his early paintings, including nearly all of his landscapes.

He died in Boca Grande, Florida.

The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from the existing paintings.h
