Artist Biography

Back to Art, Prints & Posters Collection
Maurice Brazil Prendergast

Born in Canada, Maurice Prendergast moved to Boston, but spent most of his time traveling or painting art, prints and posters overseas. He was a member of The Eight, but initially distanced himself from the group. In 1914, he moved to New York and assisted The Eight's mission of getting American art away from academic tradition.

Prendergast typically painted art, prints and posters of people involved in leisurely activities and was influenced by Post-Impressionism. At the Armory Show in 1913, he displayed seven works that showed his stylistic maturity.

Although he predominantly worked in watercolors, he began using oils in his later career. He also produced a large number of mono-type art, prints and posters between 1891 and 1902.
