| biography:
| Artist, born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, USA. He studied at Philadelphia Spring Garden Institute and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and worked as a commercial artist and newspaper art reporter. Influenced by Robert Henri, and a member of ‘The Eight’, he produced a series of intimate warm-hearted etchings based on New York City life, which gave rise to the name ‘Ashcan school’. Throughout his career he continued to depict his individual visual documentation of life in the metropolis, placing him in the forefront of the American Realist tradition. |
