Prasse [1896-1984], Cleveland, OH date: ?-1982 footnotes: citations: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH date: November 16, 1982 footnotes: citations: --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: In 1891, Maurice Prendergast left Boston for Paris, where he studied art for three years at the Atelier Colarossi and the Académie Julian. It was probably in France that he learned the technique of monotype, a medium that he used throughout the second half of the 1890s. This delicate view of children on a beach—possibly Saint-Malo in France—reflects the influence of James Abbott McNeill Whistler. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
