Thomas Alexander Harrison (American, 1853 -1930)Alexander Harrison's first career was as a topographical draftsman for the U.S. Coastal Survey, following early studies in art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA). By 1879, however, he was studying with Jerome and Bastien-Lepage in Paris, where he soon established his reputation as a leader among American painters there. Harrison remained in France for most of his adult life, exhibiting extensively in Paris. He returned to the States often, however, where he also exhibited extensively (perhaps most so at the PAFA), and where his work found great favor. During his long career, Harrison received numerous exhibition medals on both sides of the Atlantic, and his work can be found in many leading museums. On his death in 1930, the New York Times described Harrison as the "dean of American painters." |
