Biography:
W. H. W. Bicknell (1860-1947) was a highly respected and versatile artist. A native of Boston, Bicknell studied with Otto Grundmann and attended the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School. Though achieving some early recognition as a portraitist, he preferred etching, in which field he won his greatest reknown. Bicknell etched a number of portraits, title pages for the Bibliophile Society of Boston, landscapes, and architectural views, many of Winchester and Provincetown. The most familiar local views are his illustrations for Henry Smith Chapman's History of Winchester. Bicknell moved to Winchester about 1893 and lived on Cottage Avenue, Mt. Pleasant Street, and finally on Arlington Street in a new home built in 1898 next to the grounds of the country club. He also kept a studio in Provincetown. Bicknell, who played cello, initiated the organization of the Winchester Orchestral Society and served on its music committee (1909-1917) and sang tenor in church choirs. Mr. and Mrs. Bicknell also participated, on and off stage, in many theatrical entertainments in Winchester and Provincetown. A recipient of a bronze medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, Bicknell is represented in the collections of the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, Library of Congress, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, New York Public Library, and Chicago Art Institute. He was a member of the Copley Society, Chicago Society of Etchers, Boston Society of Etchers, and Provincetown and Winchester art associations. He died in Provincetown.
