SUYDAM, James Augustus (si'-dam), artist, born in New York, 27 March, 1819 ; died in North Conway, New Hampshire, 15 September, 1865. His first instructor was Miner K. Kellogg, with whom he travelled through Greece and Turkey. Later, after his return to the United States, he studied also with Asher B. Durand and John F. Kensett. He was elected an honorary member of the National academy in 1858, and an academician in 1861. When the building of the academy was projected he took an active part in its construction. He held office in the academy until his death, and bequeathed to it the "Suydam Collection" of pictures, besides a large sum of money. He was quite successful in his coast views. Among his works are "View on Long Island " and "Hook Mountain on the Hudson" (1863).
