(American Artist 1884 – 1974)
I studied with Leon Kroll at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He was an excellent artist and an inspiring teacher.
Known primarily as a classic figurative artist who painted many nudes, Kroll was part of a circle of New York artists that included several members of “The Eight”, and he was especially close with Robert Henri, William Glackens, George Bellows, Ernest Lawson, Edward Hopper, & Eugene Speicher
