Dorothy Ochtman (March 8, 1892 - April 26, 1971)[ citation needed] was an American painter.
Daughter of the Dutch-born painter Leonard Ochtman and his wife, Mina, Ochtman was born in Riverside, Connecticut, and probably had her earliest instruction from her parents. [1] She received a degree from Smith College in 1914, and performed her graduate studies at Bryn Mawr College; she also attended the school of the National Academy of Design from 1916 until 1919. A Guggenheim Fellowship allowed her to study in Fontainebleau at the École Americaine des Beaux-Arts, and from 1927 to 1928 she was at the Académie Despujols. [2] She showed in many annual exhibitions at the National Academy, beginning in 1918 and ending in 1950; she won prizes in 1921 and 1924, becoming an associate member in 1929, and becoming a full member in the year of her death. [2] She also showed three times at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and her work was included in many other exhibits throughout her career. [1] She married an electrical engineer, William A. DelMar, in 1945. [2] In later years she lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, where she died. [1]
Stylistically, Ochtman worked in a post-Impressionist style. Her work consisted largely of flower pieces, still-lifes, and portraits. She was represented by the Grand Central Art Galleries for much of her career. [2]
Her work is in the collections of the Smith College Museum of Art [1] and the National Academy of Design, [2] among others. The Academy collection also contains a portrait of her by Ivan Olinsky. [3]
