Philip Leslie Hale

Philip Leslie Hale (1865–1931) was an American Impressionist artist, writer and teacher.

His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.

Beginning in 1887, he studied in Paris for five years, and during the summers painted at Giverny, where he was influenced by the palette and brushwork of Claude Monet.

Formerly engaged to Ethel Reed, he instead married fellow artist Lilian Westcott Hale in 1902, and they rented adjoining studios in Boston.

Hale taught at the Museum School in Boston, as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; among his Boston pupils was Mary Bradish Titcomb.
