Biography
George Howell Gay
Born 1858 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Died 1931 in New York
Early in his painting career at the Academy of Design in Chicago, George Howell Gay studied under Paul Brown, a well-known marine artist, and Henry Elkins, the landscape painter. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Gay was a watercolorist known for his landscapes and marine scenes. After moving to New York City in 1889 his subjects were inland New England and New York state coasts. Notable features of his work are the clarity of light and almost photographic detail.
