Comments: An important Impressionist painter and part of the circle of American artists who painted in the Normandy village of Giverny. Beginning in 1907, he taught at Giverny the students from Candace Wheeler"s School in Providence, RI. Before 1910, he also taught at the AcadÈmie Colarossi in Paris. He left France just before the outbreak of WWI and settled briefly in St. Louis (painting portraits) before taking a teaching position at the Stickney School in Pasadena, Calif. (c.1915-17). At Provincetown he painted landscapes and figural works of women in sunlit interiors. His middle name is frequently mistaken to be "Emil."
