Huc-Mazelet Luquiens

[1] After Yale, he continued his studies in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and at the Académie Julian.

In search of portrait commissions, he came to Hawaii in 1917 to visit his sister, who had married into the Judd family.

After teaching at the Punahou School for some years, he was hired as the first teacher of art at the University of Hawaii where he is credited with the formation of the department and served as its chair from 1936 to 1945.

[3] Among the instructors who joined him were Ben Norris, Henry H. Rempel, Millard Sheets and Frederik Taubes.

Although best known for his small intaglio prints (such as Banyan - Study), he also painted in oils (such as Manoa Valley from Round Top).
