A look at two artists who called Stamford, New York, home: DuBois Fenelon Hasbrouck and LaMont Adelbert Warner.
Hasbrouck was born in nearby Greene County. Almost entirely self-taught, he chose Stamford as a location to settle down after spending the early part of his career riding the railroad lines crossing the Catskills, producing drawings for tourist magazines and railroad brochures. A member of the National Academy, he won a number of prizes. One of his paintings, “Autumn Landscape,” is in the Smithsonian.
LaMont Adelbert Warner was born in Stamford, but left at the age of 24 to work in the design studios of Gustav Stickley; during his six-year tenure there he rose to become one of Stickley’s chief designers. After marrying Emma Victorine Smith, the couple moved to Westchester County and Warner began his teaching career as Instructor in Household Art at Columbia University’s Teachers’ College. Art, teaching, pageants, and family were the main focus of Warner’s long life.
