Toomey & Co. recently presented an auction of paintings done by Arnold Blanch throughout his prolific art career. Blanch studied at MCAD (at the time Minneapolis School of Art) before serving in World War I and continuing his artistic studies at the New York’s Art Students league.

After moving to Woodstock in 1923, Blanch became a prevalent artist in the area, acclaimed for his landscapes, still lifes, and scenes of everyday American life. During the 1930s and 1940s, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and taught at several prominent art schools across the United States.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
