A painter, lecturer, teacher and also a descendant of Daniel Webster, E
Ambrose Webster was a prominent and pioneering proponent of modernism
on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. By his own painting as well as
lecturing and writing, he promoted a style that moved beyond
Impressionism to a Fauve-like handling of color. One of his
writings was a booklet on color. He was criticized by
traditionalists for participating in the 1913 New York Armory Show that
showcased modernism.
