Charles Augustus (Shorty) Lasar (American 1856 – 1936): The Lady Artist - Oil on canvas, 36 x 25.5 inches / Signed

Charles Augustus Lasar, known as “Shorty” Lasar was a Johnstown, Pennsylvania-born artist. As did many American artists, he travelled to Paris to broaden his art education. He studied under painter-sculptor Jean-Leon Gerome, who also taught Pennsylvania-born artists Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins. Lasar’s draftsmanship became legendary during his tenure at Jean-Leon Gerome’s atelier. After several years of successful exhibitions, 19th century artist Charles Augustus Lasar opened his own atelier, which catered to English-speaking female artists.
