Cecil Crosley Bell Art
American, 1906-1970
Cecil Crosley Bell was born on July 15, 1906, in Seattle. Bell studied printmaking at the Art Institute of Chicago before moving to New York to study at the Art Students League with John Sloan. Bell remained in New York, eventually settling in Staten Island with his wife. Most of his paintings depict famous locations around New York City. Bell died in New York in 1970. Largely unknown during his lifetime, in 1973 a retrospective of his work was held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
