Perhaps the most startling characteristic of the art of Ammi Phillips (1788-1865) is that throughout his distinguished career he has used so many different styles.
It was estimated that Phillips painted portraits for over 50 years, and may have produced as many as 2,000 in several different styles. In fact, Phillips changed his style so frequently that his works were once attributed to many different artists. Today only a quarter of the 2,000 paintings can be definitely attributed to him.
Phillips’ style varied so greatly because he traveled throughout the northeast during his career. His first entry into the art world was in 1809, when he offered his portrait services in an advertisement in a Massachusetts newspaper. These works were characterized by long, full-length views.
By 1813, Phillips was living in Troy, New York. His work from this period, once attributed to “the border limner,” is characterized by light pastel colors, and three-quarter to full-length figures, with dark lined faces.
Phillips’ paintings of the 1820s showed greater realism, but those of the 1840s were less detailed. By the 1860s his paintings inevitably began to be greatly influenced by photography, marking the end of an era.
