About the artist:
Born in Los Angeles, CA on June 25, 1907. Scott studied at Otis Art Institute and with Will Foster, and continued in Paris at Académies Julian and Chaumiere. A lifelong resident of the Los Angeles area, he died in Orange, CA on March 22, 1983
He was known for his post-impressionist and plein-aire paintings. He lived in Paris, France during the late-1940's and early 50's where he studied (and exhibited) at the Academie Julien and the Academie de la Chaumier-Montparnasse. The subject of much of his work, during this period, focused on very tranquil, yet "typical" elements of the Parisian urban landscape or cityscape. Benton was known for painting circus clowns and their surroundings such as the Cirque Medrano in Paris.

- "Woman Dressing"By Frederick Carl FriesekeLocated in Lambertville, NJJim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this work by Frederick Carl Frieseke (1874 – 1939). Frederick Carl Frieseke was a member of the third generation of American painters to inhabit and find inspiration from Giverny, France. His use of bright colors and light, to depict the female figure, defined the style of the Giverny group during his residence, synthesizing aspects of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Born in the United States, Frieseke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. In 1898, he moved to Paris to enroll in the Académie Julian, where he studied under Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. During this time, Frieseke also briefly studied with James A. Whistler, who would prove to be a great inspiration in Frieseke’s early works. From Whistler, Frieseke adopted a tonalist palette and a decorative approach to figurative painting. While in Paris, Frieseke’s works were featured at the American Art Association of Paris and in several annual salon exhibitions. His painting, “Before the Mirror...Category
