| biography:
| Painter, born near Newburgh, New York, USA. His family moved to Newark, NJ (1829), where his schooling was interrupted by epilepsy. He travelled often to Europe (1847–74), and finally settled in Montclair, NJ (1887). His early work was related to the Hudson River School, as in ‘Peace and Plenty’ (1865), but by the 1890s he had developed an expressive approach similar to Impressionism with such paintings as his haunting view of trees and water, ‘The Home of the Heron’ (1893). |
