| biography:
| Painter, born in San Francisco, Califorinia, USA. He studied at the Art Students League, New York, with J Alden Weir and John Twachtman (1891), and later in Paris at the Académie Julien (1893). Upon his return to the USA he settled in upper Manhattan and produced his famous impressionistic urban landscapes that linked him to the Ashcan school. His typical use of thick, intense colour, often applied with a palette knife, is seen in his major work, ‘Spring Night, Harlem River’ (1913). |
