Catalogue Note
Henry Salem Hubbell was born on Christmas day in 1870 in Paola, Kansas. His education began at the Art Institute of Chicago and continued on to the Academie Julian. Shortly thereafter in 1898-99, he enrolled in James Abbot McNeill Whistler's Academie Carmen in Paris. This year would prove transformative in Hubbell's career as he was greatly influenced by Whistler's strategic use of color and composition. Hubbell joined the American art community living in Giverny in 1908. He had tremendous success while living there but returned to America in 1910 for the rest of his career.
