Painter, environmentalist, visionary, Abbott Thayer may be the greatest artist America has ever produced. Yet Thayer's life reached beyond art. He was a very famous portrait painter and landscape artist. He studied in Boston, Paris, and New York, then moved his family and studio to New Hampshire to be near Mount Monadnock. What pushes Thayer's story into the realm of the extraordinary was how he combined his artistic genius with a deep love of birds and wildlife and the forest to develop his theory of camouflage. As the inventor of camouflage, he has protected and saved untold numbers of soldiers on the front lines. As an environmentalist, he protected forests and birds and even saved Mount Monadnock from the ruin of exploitation in 1912. Monadnock today is a natural memorial to artist Abbott Thayer.
