Francis Morton-Johnson (1878-1931)

Comme nombre de peintres américains de sa génération, Francis Morton-Johnson (1878-1931) a quitté son Massachusetts natal pour parfaire sa formation artistique à Paris. Il y intègre l’académie Julian, où il suit l’enseignement de Jean-Paul Laurens. Débutant au Salon d’automne en 1907, il se joint à celui des indépendants l’année suivante, ce qui lui vaut l’acquisition d’une nature morte par l’État. Il sera fidèle à cette manifestation qui lui a porté chance jusqu’à la veille de la Première Guerre mondiale
