Joseph Eliot Enneking
American, 1881 - 1942
Joseph Eliot Enneking (1881-1942) was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. He is the son of American landscape painter John Joseph Enneking (1841-1916). He received his formal training in Boston with Joseph De Camp (1858-1923), Frank Weston Benson (1862-1951) and Edmond Charles Tarbell (1862-1938).
After completing his education, Enneking opened his studio in Brookline, Massachusetts. As a back drop for his wonderful impressionist paintings, Enneking would use Mill Pond, a quiet wildlife refuge nestled in Brookline just minutes from Boston. He then discovered Rockport on the Cape. With miles of lovely beaches, boulder-strewn paths through woods and glades, Rockport provided endless subjects. It also has an uncommonly magical light at sundown, which inspired painters since Winslow Homer.
Enneking exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. He was a member and exhibited at the Salmagundi Club, Copley Society, North Shore Art Association and the New Haven Paint and Clay Club.
