Arthur Prince Spear (1879-1959)

Arthur Prince Spear was trained at some of the most prestigious institutions of his time, including the Art Students League of New York and the Académie Julian of Paris. Under the guidance of instructors such as Jean Paul Laurens, Spear developed an impressionist-inspired style which he brought back with him to the United States in 1907. He joined the Fenway Studios building in Boston, and executed soft, loosely painted landscapes and genre scenes until 1915. At this point his style underwent a drastic transformation, and he began painting the subjects for which he is best known: mythological nudes, imaginary landscapes and underwater scenes.
