Frederick Judd Waugh was an American artist, primarily known as a marine artist.
Background
Frederick Judd Waugh was born in Bordentown, N. J. , the only child of Samuel Bell Waugh by his second wife, Mary (Sarah) Eliza Young. Of the three children of the first marriage, two daughters survived, a son having died in infancy. The elder Waugh, a native of Mercer, Pa. , was a noted portrait and landscape painter, and Mary Eliza Young was well known as a miniaturist. Their son thus grew up in the atmosphere of the studio, both he and his half-sister Ida becoming painters.
Education
From 1880 to 1883 Waugh attended the school of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he studied under Thomas Eakins. He continued his study in Paris at the Académie Julian and exhibited in the Paris Salon.
Career
After the death of his father in 1885 he returned to Philadelphia, where he painted portraits and landscapes as well as doing commercial work for the firm of Dakin and Petrie. Waugh's love of the sea, which was to become his most enduring subject, began in 1893 with a visit to the Island of Sark, one of the British Channel Islands, where he later lived for two years. He spent most of the next ten years, however, in London, painting principally figure compositions, many of which were exhibited at the Royal Academy. During the Boer War he accepted a contract from his friend Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe) to illustrate that conflict for the London Graphic. Waugh continued to paint marine scenes, however, particularly at St. Ives, Cornwall. When in 1907 two of these paintings were rejected by the Royal Academy, he decided to return to America. Waugh's pictures of the sea won immediate acclaim in New York City, where he set up his studio. In 1909 he was elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design and in 1911 an Academician. So great was his success, indeed, that Waugh, although actually extremely versatile and an accomplished craftsman in many materials, became known to the public only as a marine painter. During the first World War his knowledge of the sea and ships was called into the service of the navy for camouflage work. A profound lover of nature's infinite forms, he collected gnarled roots of ancient cedars and wrote an imaginative children's story entitled The Clan of Munes (1916), which he illustrated with many weird and fantastic forms, a forerunner of the surrealist vogue. From youth he was attuned to the solitude of nature. He had discovered a small farmhouse in a sequestered valley at Kent, Connecticut, and there in the 1920's he made his home, converting the barn into a spacious studio. While there he painted a number of "spirit" pictures, envisioned in dreams, as well as flower studies, landscapes, and large still lifes. A virtuoso of the brush, he worked rapidly, with spontaneous imagination, turning out as many as fifty seascapes a year in the last years of his life. Before his work became crystallized, his pictures came as a refreshing innovation, but eventually picture-making came to take the place of direct visual reaction. Although critical opinion grew less favorable toward Waugh's picturesque realism in the course of his lifetime, he remained one of the most popular painters of his generation. Waugh spent the last fifteen years of his life at Provincetown, Massachussets Gentle and sensitive by nature, he did not seek personal publicity or formal gatherings. His joy was in his home. He died of cancer in Provincetown and was buried in the nearby cemetery at North Truro, within sight and sound of the sea.
Achievements
During World War I, he designed ship camouflage for the U. S. Navy, under the direction of Everett L. Warner. For five consecutive years (1934 - 38) he won the popular award of the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, and his canvases hung in all the country's major museums. His name will stand among the master painters of the sea.

Personality
Waugh had a phenomenal visual memory. In the years when he was away from the sea he painted many of his most noted marines. No painter of the sea knew its ever-changing forms and colors so intimately.
Connections
In 1892 he married Clara Eugenie Bunn, whom he had met at the Pennsylvania Academy, and in that same year they began a fifteen-year sojourn in Europe. They had two children, a daughter, Gwenyth, and a son, Coulton.
