Career

The Blanchard Gallery

The Blanchard Building
“The Blanchard Gallery, directed by Everett Maxwell, was established in I906 as the first attempt in Los Angeles to solidify and publicly promote art in the city. The gallery was located on Broadway, between Second and Third streets, opposite the original City Hall; the entire building was devoted to music and art studios, with a music hall and a spacious gallery for exhibitions. Work of local artists was featured here. * "Art exhibitions at the Blanchard Gallery opened with brilliant receptions and were attended by many.”
  • Interview with Everett Maxwell, Director of the Foundation of Western Art, December 15,1942.[23]
"By the end of its second month, the Club elected their first Honorary Members, they were Antony Anderson, Hector Alliot (1862-1919) and Everett C. Maxwell. Alliot was an internationally-known art critic, director of the Southwest Museum, and the first art history professor at the University of Southern California. Maxwell was a popular western film writer, whose works include the 1925 silent version of Northern Code and the 1928 film, The Old Code.[11] The membership then numbered approximately sixteen.[12] The next few monthly meetings were held at various locations in the Los Angeles area, including at members' homes and studio, Kanst Gallery and Blanchard Hall."
[11] Though he wasn’t a member of the Painters’ Club, Maxwell appears in their Minutes of Oct. 19, 1909: Mr. Everett Maxwell, who was “furnished gratuitously by Mr. Blanchard,” was to serve as Curator for the Second Annual Exhibition of the Painters’ Club, held at Blanchard Art Gallery.
  • Birth of the California Art Club: Its Founding and First Annual Exhibition By Eric J. Merrell [24]
Note E.C. Maxwell was working as the curator for the Blanchard Gallery at the time that the C.A.C. elected him as an honorary member. He did not begin writing for silent films until 1919.

Museum of History, Science and Art at Exposition Park

Museum of History Science & Art

On November 6, 1913, Exposition Park and the new museum, called the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science, and Art at the time, opened formally to the public. Everett C. Maxwell was appointed as the museum's first curator, and held this position until 1916. The county museum was created in an attempt to replace the culture of horse racing, saloons and brothels that once occupied the land it was built upon. Although its grand-opening was a highly attended, multi day event of celebration, the museum itself did not open with any of its own collections of art to display. As the Museum was being built, four local organizations - the Historical Society of Southern California, the Cooper Ornithological Club, the Southern California Academy of Sciences, and the Fine Arts League, were persuaded to fill the galleries of the new museum. The museum was given the exclusive rights in 1913 to remove the prehistoric remains from the tar pits at Rancho La Brea and to display them. E.C. Maxwell worked with other members of the C.A.C. - California Art Club to promote the exhibitions and acquire a catalog of more famous works. The venue displayed local Southern Californian artists and native artifacts as well.

Museum of History, Science, and Art Exhibits

The Foundation of Western Art

The Foundation of Western Art, a noncommercial, philanthropic organization, opened in 1933 and was financially supported by portrait painter Max Wieczorek. Former curator and Museum of History, Science and Art director Everett Maxwell was the foundation's director and Dana Bartlett acted as the curator. The primary objective, aside from holding exhibitions, was to discover and promote new talent in the arts, including painters, sculptors, etchers, and craftsmen. Due to his earlier work with the Blanchard Museum and Museum of History, Science and Art, several exhibitions were held for the Foundation at those venues. The Foundation of Western Art closed in 1945.
