| Painter and etcher, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. He began as a window-shade decorator and studied under Frank Duveneck at the McMicken School of Design, Cincinnati, OH (1871). After study in Munich (1875–7), and living in Venice (1877) and Paris (1883–5), he returned to settle in Greenwich, CT (1889). His work was influenced by James Whistler and Impressionism, as seen in ‘Araques-la-Bataille’ (1885). He taught at the Art Students League, New York (1889–1902), and was a founder of the Ten (1898), an Impressionist group. |
