- Summary
-
Will Hicok Low began his career in New York, working as an illustrator but traveled to Paris at age to study with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Carolus-Duran. He spent his summers with the Barbazon artists near the end of their reign; François Millet strongly influenced his work. When he returned to the United States, he became active as a muralist and decorative painter, responsible for that work in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. His expressions of Beaux Arts classicism inspired Louis Comfort Tiffany among others. The friendship between Will Low and his wife and Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Stevenson flourished on both sides of the Atlantic, and is here nicely charted, including poems to both the Low's by R.L.S.
