Biography: The son of a poor and illiterate laborer, Charles E. Porter became one of the first, if not the first, African-American to study at the National Academy of Design. He traveled to London and Paris in the 1880s to continue his studies, a pattern followed by nearly all 19th-century American painters who had the means to do so. On his return, he set up a studio in New York, but financial difficulties forced him to return to his family home in Rockville, Connecticut, where he became active in the Hartford art community. His still life paintings embraced a soft, lush quality that differentiated it from much of previous American still life painting, which was often characterized by a virtuosic but harder-edged technique. Porter's work embodied a soft focus while capturing a naturalistic immediacy, qualities apparent also in his landscapes. He was a charter member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, and exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the American Society of Painters in Watercolor, and the Hartford Decorative Art Society. Despite his success in Hartford, Charles Porter attempted several times to return to New York, always unsuccessfully. Nonetheless, he encountered increasing difficulty selling paintings later in his career. He re-worked many of his canvases, sometimes painting over them two or three times. His financial circumstances declined precipitously, and Porter spent his final years in poverty, selling paintings door-to-door or bartering them for food. Porter died in 1923 and is buried in Grove Hill Cemetery in Rockville, near his Fox Hill home.Important Message Regarding Payments : All invoices that exceed the amount of $ 2000 including the buyer premium, must make the payment through check or wire transfer, if we receive the payment through the platform, the money will be reimbursed automatically to your cardCondition
