| biography:
| Painter, born in Nyack, New York, USA. He studied under Robert Henri (1900–6) and travelled in Europe (1906–10), but his etchings, watercolours, and oils over the next 50 years would reflect little of the current art trends. He supported himself as a commercial illustrator until recognition in the mid-1920s. His vision of realism, using moody light and buildings, created a world of human isolation, as in such famous paintings as ‘Early Sunday Morning’ (1930) and ‘Night Hawks’ (1942). |
