评论： An Impressionist who traveled widely, he was also the best known artist working in San Francisco during the late 19th to early 20th century. From 1879-81, he was one of the "Duveneck Boys" in Venice. He returned to San Francisco in 1881, painting portraits and scenes in Chinatown, and by 1884 was teaching at the San Francisco ASL. From 1885-87, he was one the first Americans to paint in Japan, and lived near Tokyo. In 1888, he had a studio at the Tenth Street Studio Bldg. in NYC, next to W.M. Chase. In 1892, he held an auction of his paintings to fund his return to Japan, where he painted more than 100 new works during the next two years. His articles on Japan appeared in Century and Scribner"s. From 1901-02, he traveled and painted in Hawaii and Samoa; and in 1903 he was in Spain painting with Philp L. Hale. He returned to San Fran. in 1905, and from 1907-12, was director of the San Fran. Art Inst. (former Mark Hopkins IA). The great San Francisco Fire of 1906 destroyed his home, studio, and much of his earlier work. In 1913 he was painting in the Canadian Rockies; and from 1915-17 he painted the Southwest Indians in Taos, NM. In 1926 he moved to Saratoga near San Francisco and continued to paint vivid Impressionist landscapes.
