Ernest Lawson

Painter, the only landscape painter among The Eight. Influenced by French Impressionism and the Impressionism of American artists John Henry Twachtman and Julian Alden Weir, he had a preference for painting winter scenes along the Hudson and Harlem Rivers. Stylistically, Lawson's work was characterized by his use of heavy impasto.Joan StahlAmerican Artists in Photographic Portraits from the Peter A.
