Leon Kroll (1884-1974) was an accomplished American painter, lithographer, critic, and art teacher. He studied at the Art Students League of New York under John Henry Twachtman, and at the Academie Julian in Paris with Jean Paul Laurens in the late 1900s. When Kroll returned from Europe in 1910, he mounted a one-man show of his Parisian work. The exhibition was a critical and financial success. At a time when artists were moving towards abstraction, he remained committed to realism. He became an instructor at the National Academy and also taught at the Maryland Institute (1919-23), the Art Institute of Chicago (1924-25), and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1929-30).
