Biographical Information
John Herbert Evelyn
Partington
(1843-1899) was a painter in the Manchester School of Painters, which was founded in 1870 by artists in Manchester, England
who were disgruntled with the traditional Victorian art education they were receiving at the Manchester Art School.
Partington
and his fellow painters were interested in painting and drawing from life and were strongly influenced by French painting,
especially the Pont-Aven School. J.H.E.
Partington
opened the Stockport Art School, modeled on the Academie Julian in Paris, in the late 1880s.
In 1865, J.H.E.
Partington
married Sarah Ann Mottershead. They lived in Stockport and, for a time in the 1880s, on the Isle of Man. John and Sarah had
seven children: Blanche, Richard Langtry, Edward, Gertrude, Jack (John) Allan, Phyllis, and Kate. In 1890,
Partington
moved his family to Oakland, California, where they mingled with local artists and writers, including Ambrose Bierce, Jack
London, George and Carrie Sterling, and Joaquin Miller. J.H.E.
Partington
established himself as a local portrait painter and painted portraits of both Bierce and Miller. In 1895, J.H.E.
Partington
and his son Richard Langtry
Partington
founded the
Partington
School of Illustration on Pine Street in San Francisco. Daughter Gertrude taught classes in the school. Many of the
Partington
children went on to have successful careers in the arts.
Blanche
Partington
(1866-1951) was a music and drama critic for The Call newspaper in San Francisco. She was the friend and confidante of many
literary figures including Ambrose Bierce, Jack London, Joaquin Miller, and George Sterling. She was also a noted Christian
Science practitioner in San Francisco.
Richard Langtry
Partington
(1868-1929) taught at the San Francisco School of Illustration and did some newspaper illustration until 1906, when the school
was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and fire. Richard then moved back to Oakland, where he served as curator of
the Piedmont Art Gallery. In 1916, he moved to Philadelphia and became a much-respected portrait painter of Philadelphia society.
Gertrude
Partington
Albright (1874-1959) was a painter and etcher who studied with her father as well as in Europe (between 1900 and 1912). She
was a well-known local painter and one of the only woman magazine and newspaper illustrators on the west coast. Gertrude married
artist Herman Oliver Albright (1875-1944) in 1917. Albright's first wife, Kate Peterson, died in 1907. Hedwig Evelyn Albright
was Gertrude's and Herman's only child.
Phyllis
Partington
(1883-1933) was an opera singer whose career started in 1912-1913 on a road tour of Gypsy Love, a Broadway adaptation of
Franz Lehar's Zigeunerliehe. In 1913, Phyllis went to Europe to study under Salvatore Cottone and Jose Mardones. While in
Europe, she adopted the stage name Frances Peralta. Upon returning to the United States in 1915, Peralta sang soprano roles
with Opera companies in Boston, Saint Louis, Chicago, and Memphis. In 1920, Peralta joined the Metropolitan Opera in New York
City, where she remained until 1930. Her most famous role was Dorabella in the U.S. premiere of Cosi fan Tutte in 1922. Phyllis
Partington
died in 1933 in New York City.
Jack (John) A.
Partington
, Sr. (1889-1944) built a career as an operations manager for theaters such as San Francisco's Imperial Theater and New York's
Paramount.
