Charles Ethan Porter

Charles Ethan Porter is being rediscovered today as a major 19th century painter. Porter was a black artist and, thanks to the sponsorship of Mark Twain, was able to go to Paris in 1881. In Paris, he was influenced by many artists and honed his artistic skills. During his life, Porter lived in semi-obscurity and it has only been recently that Porter is now recognized as one of America's outstanding late 19th century artists. Only a small portion of his works are known today and many were done by Porter in his later years.
