| Painter and print maker Margery Austen Ryerson was born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1886, and not only established a reputation as an artist but as an editor of one of the better-known books in American art, "The Art Spirit", which is a compilation of Ryerson's notes from the painting classroom of Robert Henri. She proposed the idea to Henri, and they worked together on the editing and completed the project for publication in 1923. One of the reasons the book was an attention getter was Henri's (showing 500 of 2456 characters). |
