A CAT AT PLAY - PENCIL DRAWING
Addison B. LeBoutillier: A most versatile Massachusetts artist and architect, A. B. LeBoutillier was equally gifted as an etcher, ex-libris engraver, wood carver, medalist, painter and pottery designer. After his formal studies as an architect, LeBoutillier first gained recognition in Boston in the 1890's for his pen and ink illustrations. His initial exhibited etchings date from the later First World War (1917-18) when he produced a number of striking plates detailing the devastation of French cities and towns. After the war LeBoutillier returned to Boston and continued creating etchings of New England architecture and landscapes. He also authored the monograph, The Early Wooden Architecture of Andover, Massachusetts (1917).
Perhaps Addison LeBoutillier's best known art, however, was in the medium of Faience pottery. Along with Henry Belknap, A. B. LeBoutillier was a primary designer for the famous Grueby Pottery. Today the art of Addison LeBoutillier is included in such major public collections as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
