| Painter, born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. He worked in water colours and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz (1905–8), at the Académie Julian, Paris (1912–14), and lived in New York City. During 1910–14 he painted illustrations for several writers, including Emile Zola and Henry James. Lame and diabetic, he illustrated the joys of physical life, as in ‘Circus Riders’ (1916), and ‘Acrobats’ (1919). His later work was a combination of Cubism and realism, as in the grain elevators of ‘My Egypt’ (1927). |
