Wayman Adams is known for portraits of prominent persons including
authors, painters, political leaders, etc. His portrait of Booth
Tarkington brought him early recognition, and he was known as a
"lightning" artist because his portraits were completed in one
sitting. Ethnic types constitute one of the most intriguing
aspects of his work.
After receiving instruction at the Herron
Art Institute* of Indianapolis, he went on to study with William
Merritt Chase in Florence, (showing 500 of 6374 characters). |
