Bryson Burroughs

Henry Bryson Burroughs (8 September 1869 – November 1934) was an American artist and employee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

[1] His purchase of View of the Domaine Saint-Joseph for the museum became the first of Paul Cézanne's paintings to enter a public collection.

[1] Before dedicating himself to painting, Burroughs was a successful racing cyclist who seriously contemplated turning professional in that discipline.

[3][4] Bryson Burroughs was born in 1869 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts; then an independent suburb of Boston.

[1] After high school, he began to pursue painting, and attended the Art Students League of New York and won a scholarship to learn in academies in Paris.
