Early life


Grandson of Carlton J. H. Hayes, a history professor at Columbia University who was United States Ambassador to Spain during World War II,[citation needed] Tucker sought to follow in his grandfather's footsteps as a history scholar. The shift to art history came while studying at Williams College under Whitney Stoddard, Lane Faison, and William Pierson, as well as a trip to Florence to study art in his junior year, and a subsequent fellowship at the Toledo Museum of Art.[citation needed] Tucker became enamored with Impressionism and Claude Monet during frequent visits to the Clark Art Institute while attending Williams College.[citation needed] It was there he first received the inspiration to one day reunite the artist's Rouen Cathedral (Monet series) in a single exhibition – something he accomplished at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1990.[citation needed]

A member of the so-called "Williams Mafia",[2] a group who graduated from Williams College in the 1960s and 1970s, Tucker also served as an All-American defensive end on the football team while earning his undergraduate degree.[citation needed]

As an art history graduate student at Yale, where he earned his PhD in 1979, Tucker studied under Robert L. Herbert, a pioneer in developing the social history of art. Tucker's dissertation became his first book: Monet at Argenteuil.[citation needed]


Exhibitions


Tucker set the attendance record of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1990 with his "Monet in the '90s" exhibition,[3] only to break his own record with "Monet in the 20th Century". He has also curated exhibitions beyond Impressionism into post-war American art as a guest curator for other museums.

He is married to Maggie Moss-Tucker,[citation needed] and has two children, actor Jonathan Tucker and Jennie Taylor Tucker.[citation needed] Tucker retired from his position at UMass Boston to move to California in 2014, where he continues to work in the area of 19th and 20th century art. His most recent book is a college textbook on modern art titled Never Neutral. Modern Art: Courbet to Pollock.
