Born in Byron, Illinois, Wilson Irvine became an Impressionist
landscape painter, who exhibited for many years at the Art Institute of
Chicago and then became a part of the Art Colony at Old Lyme,
Connecticut. He also did monotypes called aqua prints that were
abstract in style compared to his other paintings.
He enrolled in an art school run by Liberty Walkup, inventor of the
airbrush. In 1893, he was employed by the Chicago Portrait Company and
took classes at the Ar (showing 500 of 7258 characters). |
