Born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, Abbott Fuller Graves was an influential Boston painter known for his floral garden scenes and still lifes. Although much of his work, in keeping with the Boston School style, depicted subject matter in a realistic way, his thick, impasto brush strokes and bright, colorful sun-lit paintings showed his acceptance of Impressionism.
In 1884, he went to Paris and Italy, and concentrated on still life painting, often working with his good friend Edmund Tarbell (showing 500 of 2636 characters). |
