Biography from AskART:
| John Noble is known for his paintings of the Texas plains, done while working for his father driving longhorn cattle up the Chisholm Trail, and in addition, he did commercial work as a draftsman and cartoonist. He was especially noted for his landscape paintings around Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Noble was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1874 and was raised on the Osage Reservation in Oklahoma. He received his first formal training at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Arts and became a competent illustrator and cartoonist. He traveled the country working as a newspaper cartoonist and painter. In 1902, Noble went to Paris where he studied at the Academie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens, and then on to Brussels where he attended the Academie des Beaux-Arts.
Noble lived several years on the coast of Brittany, working as a fisherman and painting in his free time. Later he moved to London before returning to the United States around 1920. He settled in Provincetown, Massachusetts and began earning prestigious prizes in exhibitions at the Salmagundi Club; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and at the National Academy of Design.
Noble lived in New York City after 1924 and died there a decade later from paraldehyde poisoning.
He was a member of the Allied Artists of London; National Academy of Design; Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, Hartford; Grand Central Galleries, New York; Paris-American Art Association; Provincetown Art Association, and the Salmagundi Club, New York.
Exhibitions included Art Institute of Chicago; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; Annual Exhibition Exhibition, National Academy of Design, New York, and the Daniel Gallery, New York.
