Wilson Irvine

Irvine also painted across Western Europe, where he produced impressionist versions of the local countryside.

[1] From the beginning, Irvine's interest in painterly subjects was equalled by a parallel focus on artistic technology.

Irvine attended the night school of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied for over seven years.

The Art Institute maintains a number of Wilson Irvine paintings in its permanent collection.

(After relocating East, Irvine maintained his contacts with Chicago, where the market for his work remained strong.)

In recent years, Irvine has been rediscovered and acknowledged as a key figure in early-20th-century American Impressionism.
