‘Osver 'studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago between 1931 and 1936 with Boris Anisfeld. In 1940, Arthur Osver settled in New York's Greenwich Village and went on to teach at the Brooklyn Museum Art School and then Columbia University. He was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1952, and he visited Italy and France a number of times. Osver also taught at Yale University and Cooper Union in New York in the late 1950s. Over the decades, his paintings evolved from urban realism, focusing on the smoke-stacks, to a more abstract style, emphasising the wisps of smoke. He was associated with the Abstract Expressionist during the 1950s. Osver moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1960 and became a Professor of Art at Washington University until his retirement in 1981. Osver's paintings have been collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.'

An artist who ceased oil painting in 1922, having discovered that sculpture suited him better; he tried to let the stone or wood take its own shape, whether in large public monuments or in smaller works. Zorach took art classes at the Educational Alliance as a child & quit school at the end of the seventh grade to become an apprentice at a lithography firm. From 1905 to 1908 he studied drawing & painting at the Cleveland School of Art, then spent two years at the National Academy of Design in New York. In 1922 he gave up painting for sculpture.

'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
