D. Putnam Brinley

During this period his work was heavily influenced by the modernist movement, with flattened forms and a deeper hued palette.

In 1914 the Brinleys built a home, Datchet House, in Silvermine (New Canaan) Connecticut, designed by their friend Austin W. Lord, and spent part of each year there for the remainder of their lives.

He was so shocked that he decided, with the "Young Men's Christian Association" (Y.M.C.A), to paint the crumbling buildings in order to never forget this devastation.

[2] A biographical sketch of Brinley featured in the 22nd edition of Who's Who in America, issued in the early 1940s, identified him as Republican and of the Episcopalian faith.

[1] At the time of Brinley's death, many obituaries noted the decorative maps that he created for Liberty Memorial, in Kansas City, Missouri.

[7] Brinley also created a mural for the Brooklyn Savings Bank, for which he was awarded the Gold Medal of Honor of the Architectural League of New York.

Finally, he created the Great Terrestrial Globe that sat in the lobby of the Daily News Building in New York City.
