| Painter, born in Irasburg, Vermont, USA. After attending the National Academy of Design in New York City (1874) and helping found the Art Students League, he studied in Paris (1876–8) and returned to the USA. Up to this time he painted in a conventional realistic manner, but after a second stay in France (1884–8), particularly after meeting Claude Monet in 1887, he embraced and promoted the Impressionist style. He settled in New York City (1892), determined to apply the Impressionist style to American subjects, as in ‘Port Ben, Delaware and Hudson Canal’ (1893) and ‘Union Square in Winter’ (1895). |
