Edward Timothy Hurley (10 October 1869, Cincinnati - 29 November 1950, Cincinnati) was an American artist who worked as a decorator for the Rookwood Pottery Company from 1896 to 1948. Among Rookwood's most prolific artists,[1] Hurley worked in many other media during his free time, including oil painting, etching, bronze casting, watercolor, and pastels.

Life[edit]

Born in Cincinnati in 1869 to Irish immigrants[2] Timothy Hurley (1830-1887) and Johanna D. Hurley (1834-1903),[3] Hurley graduated from Xavier University in 1887.[4] For several years he worked at a tea company and as a salesman,[5] before a visit to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago inspired him to attend night classes at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.[2] There between 1893 and 1898 he studied under prominent local artist Frank Duveneck, who he came to idolize.[4]

Hurley married Irene Bishop, a fellow Rookwood decorator, in 1907. She died in 1925.[6] Hurley died on November 29th, 1950 and was buried in New St. Joseph Cemetery, Cincinnati.[3]
