Clara Greenleaf Perry (1871 - 1960) Oil on Board, Signed Lower Left, Measures (11.5 x 15 inches) w/frame (14.5 x 18 inches) Known as one of Robert Henri’s most precocious students and colleagues, Clara Greenleaf Perry was born near Long Branch, New Jersey, August 22, 1871. After her early education, she studied independently with Robert Henri in New York at the Art Students League and at the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts with Edmond Tarbell and Frank Benson, two giants in the development of new representational art at the turn of the century in the United States. Then, Perry set out for Europe where she established a studio and took additional classes at the Academy Julian with M. R. Collins, before exhibiting her oil paintings and pastel work at the Paris-based Salons of the Beaux Arts group, from her new home and studio in Paris and from her summer retreat at Chavaniac-Lafayette, Haute Loire, France. After several extensive tours throughout Europe including painting sojourns in Madrid, Spain and throughout Surrey, England, she returned to New York
