评论: A member of the Eight and an Impressionist, he was one of the founders of the AAPS, which organized the 1913 Armory Show in NYC. Lawson worked in a bold bright heavy impasto style unique among the American Impressionists. He was in France, 1893-98 (briefly returning to NYC in 1894), and while living in Paris shared a studio with Somerset Maugham. Lawson settled in Washington Heights, NYC, in 1898, and there painted his well-known views of the Hudson. This remained his primary residence for a number of years, although he traveled to France once again in 1903-04; and in 1916 to Spain, where he painted views of Segovia and Toledo. From the late teens onward, Lawson moved about often, painting in New England in 1919, 1920, 1933 (Hartford), and 1934 (Norfolk), summering at Cornish, NH, and teaching in Missouri and Colorado. Positions: teacher, Kansas City AI, 1926, Broadmoor Acad., Colorado Springs, 1927-28; Hartford, CT, 1933. Lawson suffered from arthritis in his late years and moved to Florida in 1936. His drowning death in 1939 was an apparent suicide.
