Robert Fanshawe Bloodgood was one of the founders both of the Art Students’ League and of the Salmagundi Club, at whose meetings he was an invariable attendant and an amusing companion. He was himself one of our oldest painters, having nearly reached the ninety-year mark [sic: he died at age eighty-two]. During his long artistic career he was best known for his paintings of marine views and wild-fowl, many of which were done at his sea-side studio on the sand dunes of Shinnecock Bay.
