Biography from AskART:
| Robert Crannel Minor, Sr., a landscapist in the Barbizon style, was
born in 1839 in New York City. His experience in France in the
mid-1860s, where he was influenced by Camille Corot and Narcisse Diaz,
was pivotal in his career and the formation of his aesthetic point of
view. He had earlier studied in New York City with Alfred C.
Howland.
Minor traveled in Italy and Germany, studying, as well,
with Gustave Boulanger and von Luppen at the Antwerp Academy after his
Barbizon experience.
In England in 1873-1874, Minor was
represented in exhibitions at the Paris Salon of 1872, the Grosvenor
Gallery and London's Royal Academy. Back in America in the latter
year, Minor set up a studio in Greenwich Village in New York
City.
His poetic landscapes of New York's Adirondack Mountains and European
locales were well received. He exhibited at the National Academy
of Design, where he was made an Associate member in 1888, an
Academician in 1897.
He died in 1904 in Waterford, Connecticut.
