| Nota biografica |
Approdò in Gran Bretagna appena diciottenne. Inizialmente si guadagnò da vivere eseguendo caratteristiche vedute urbane, poi ricevette commissioni per ritratti dell’alta società. A Londra conobbe la futura moglie, la scrittrice americana Amelia Rives, e nel 1896 si trasferì negli Stati Uniti. Comunque, sembra che abbia continuato a frequentare Londra, anche se saltuariamente, utilizzando sempre lo stesso atelier. Allestì una mostra personale da Dowdeswell’s nel 1892, e quattordici sue opere furono esposte da Obach & Co. nel 1902, insieme a diciotto del fratello Paul. Nel 1890 espose Lawn tennis alla Permanente di Milano.
He began his career in Great Britain when only eighteen. Initially, he earned his living from characteristic urban views, and then received commissions for high society portraits. In London, he met his future wife, the American writer Amelia Rives, and in 1896, he removed to the United States. However, it seems that he continued to frequent London, even if only occasionally, always using the same atelier. He held a one-man show at Dowdeswell’s in 1892, and exhibited fourteen of his works at Obach & Co. in London in 1902, alongside eighteen sculptures of his brother Paul. He exhibited Lawn tennis at the Permanente in Milan in 1890. |
