David Dalhoff Neal 1838-1915 American painter and engraver David Dalhoff Neal was born in Lowell, MA on October 20, 1838. After his education at the Andover Academy, Neal arrived in San Francisco in 1857 via New Orleans and the Isthmus of Panama. Without the benefit of art training, he quickly established himself as one of the city’s most sought after portraitists. A wealthy patron financed a trip to Munich in 1861 for formal art training. Entering the Royal Academy, he wed the daughter of one of his teachers and made Munich his home for the rest of his life. During 1869-76 he worked in the atelier of Karl von Piloty. Top of Page

Ben Nicholson 1894-1982 British abstract painter, landscape and still-life Ben Nicholson was born on April 10, 1894 in Denham, Buckinghamshire, England. He came from a family filled with artists and architects. He trained as an artist in London at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1910-1914. Nicholson’s first exhibition of figurative works was in London in 1922. Following that show, his work began to be influenced by synthetic cubism, and later by the primitive style of Rousseau. On several visits to Paris, he met Mondrian, whose work in the neoplastic style was to influence him towards abstraction. Nicholson’s personal style is a combination of his abstract influence of Mondrian and of his cubist influence of Picasso. In 1933 he made his first wood relief, which contained only right angles and circles. He died in February of 1982. Top of Page
