Brush studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City and won a scholarship to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Brush’s trips West began in 1881, with visits to the Shoshone, Arapaho, and Crow Indian tribes in Wyoming. He became a respected and influential friend of the Crow in the years that followed and produced accurate views of Indian life for Harper’s magazine. By the turn of the century, Brush was back East and well known for his portraits of women and children conceived in the Renaissance style. Brush was a close friend of Mark Twain. less
