Beck
Wenzell
(1864 – 1917) |
|
Born in Detroit, A. B. Wenzell studied in both Munich and Paris
where he spent much of his youth. When he returned to the United
States, Wenzell began a career that focused almost exclusively on
the portrayal of America’s high society. His fashionable subjects
could be found in all of the popular magazines of the day—The
Ladies’ Home Journal,
Century, Cosmopolitan, The Saturday Evening Post
and many others. Done in either oil or gouache, Wenzell’s paintings
were filled with artistic technique, and historically accurate
enough that they may still be referenced today to glimpse that
bygone era. |
