Biography (courtesy of Askart): A painter of allegorical figurative watercolors including a vaudeville series and contemporary floral studies, Charles Demuth was a major exponent of Precisionism as well as more poetic styles that emphasized emotional response to art. Much of his work is rooted in French modernism including Fauvism. Demuth was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and kept close ties to his hometown although he moved in highly sophisticated circles in New York, Provincetown, and Paris. Demuth first studied at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, and after a trip to Europe in 1904, became a student of Thomas Anschutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts until 1911. Then he went to Paris for two years, becoming associated with modernist painters and avant-garde literary figures including Gertrude and Leo Stein and Matisse. He attended the Academie Julian, Academie Colarossi, and Academie Moderne. Provenance: Collection of Charles and Ann Wells, Nashville, Tennessee.
