An American in Paris Like many American painters of his generation, Francis Morton-Johnson (1878-1931) left his native Massachusetts to complete his artistic training in Paris. There he joined the Académie Julian, where he followed the teaching of Jean-Paul Laurens. Debuting at the Salon d'Automne in 1907, he joined the Salon des Indépendants the following year, which earned him the acquisition of a still life by the State. He would remain faithful to this event which brought him luck until the eve of the First World War. His post-impressionist style. 50 x 61.5 65.5 x 76 with the original Montparnasse frame.
