Maurice Levis Prints and Multiples
French, 1860-1940
Maurice Levis was born in Paris in 1860. He received his formal art training in France under Harpignies, P. Billet, and Jules Lefebvre. He was active in the Academy from 1886 and became a member of Les Artistes Français in 1888. He received numerous awards from the Academy, including a Medaille d’Or in 1927.
Maurice Levis lived in France during the rise of French Impressionism. Levis was devoted to the study of landscapes, and often derived much of his vision from the Impressionist style. This influence can be seen in Levis’ loose brushstrokes and choice of color.to

FRANK W. BENSON (1862-1951)
Frank Weston Benson, well known for his American impressionist paintings, also produced an incredible body of prints - etchings, drypoints, and a few lithographs. Born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, Benson, a natural outdoorsman, grew up sailing, fishing, and hunting. From a young age, he was fascinated with drawing and birding – this keen interest continued throughout his life.
His first art instruction was with Otto Grundman at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and then in 1883 in Paris at the Academie Julian where he studied the rigorous ‘ecole des beaux arts’ approach to drawing and painting for two years.
During the early 1880’s Seymour Haden visited Boston giving a series of lectures on etching. This introduction to the European etching...
