American Artist & Realist - Alexander Brook
Born in Brooklyn, New York, the young man began his artistic studies at the Art Students League during 1914-1918. Brook studied with John C. Johansen, Frank V. DuMond, George Bridgeman and became acquainted with fellow artists Reginald Marsh, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, among others. These artists formed a movement of art known as American Realism. A member of the Society of Independent Artists, Brook and his colleagues refused to be part of the National Academy of Design.
