Comments: An
accomplished Impressionist landscape painter of the Boston School. In
1900, he began teaching a summer class at
Annisquam, MA, and one of his first students
was N.C. Wyeth. He painted at Fenway Studios, 1908-10. He traveled
extensively,
painting in Europe, North Africa, and Mexico. His last
major exhibition was in 1927; thereafter, the style of his work weakened as
he
aged in Vermont. In 1939, a studio fire destroyed a significant
portion of his life's work.
