Paul Hayes Tucker (born 1950) is an American art historian, professor, curator and author. His specialties include Claude Monet and Impressionism.
He spent over 40 years teaching at the University of California Santa Barbara, Williams College, the New York University Institute of Fine Arts, Yale University, and the Toledo Museum of Art, including 36 years teaching art history at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He has had 16 exhibitions and authored 11 books.
Grandson of Carlton J. H. Hayes, a history professor at Columbia University who was United States Ambassador to Spain during World War II, 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. Tucker became enamored with Impressionism and Claude Monet during frequent visits to the Clark Art Institute while attending Williams College. 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.
