John White Alexander synopsis

John White Alexander, born in Pittsburgh (1856-1915) was a world-renowned portrait painter, on par with his contemporaries John Singer Sargent and William Merritt Chase. However, the works that have earned him a greater appreciation of his personal image are his formal paintings of women who bring intriguing memories and are neatly arranged in flowing dresses.

His talent flourished after he confronted Juliet too, the Parisian model that became his masterpiece. In finding his unique style, he applied the simple and harmonious coloring classes of James McNeil Whistler and learned to use bold abstract forms and flowing lines from the Impressionist Painters Group, Nabis.

This biography is the first to provide an in-depth account of Alexander's diverse life and a profession practiced between America and Europe.
