Description
Robert Lee MacCameron (American, 1866-1912), Portrait of a Man
oil on panel, signed and illegibly dated at lower right (possibly 1904), the panel thrice stamped on verso "Property of / American Art Association / 4, Rue Joseph Bara," presented in an antique gilt composition frame.
Panel 24 x 18 3/8 in.; Frame dimensions 31 x 24 in.
Robert Lee MacCameron made the unusual switch from working as a teenage lumberjack to working in Chicago as an illustrator. His artistic talents were recognized and encouraged, which took him to New York and eventually to London and Paris.
While in Paris, MacCameron studied with Jean-Leon Gerome and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. In 1904, he was awarded an honorable mention in the Salon des Artistes Français. Just four years later, in 1908, he was awarded the Hors Concours Medal for Groupe d'Amis which was acquired by the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.
MacCameron was a sought after portrait artist, receiving commissions from the Duke & Duchess of Rutland, Presidents McKinley and Taft, and August Rodin, among many others.
