'Howard graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1921 as a journalism major, and pursued graduate studies in English at Harvard & Columbia Universities before embarking on a two-year trip to Europe. He went as a would-be writer but near-religious experiences with European art persuaded him to become a painter. Howard was part of a group of American & European Surrealists clustered around Julien Levy. Levy opened his eponymously-named gallery in 1931, and rose to fame in January 1932, when he organised and hosted Surrealisme, the first ever exhibition of Surrealism in America, which included one work by Howard. In 1934 Howard married British painter Madge Knight & moved to London, England. Prior to the outbreak of WWII London was a centre for all types of international avant-garde artists. ... they subsequently lived in the Bay Area, England again, and finally Italy.’ https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html
