Even the stories about his hard-pressed boyhood-how he cut off a cat's tail to get his first paintbrush-are somewhat fanciful. He was poor. He was never indigent. From the time that he left grammar school he devoted himself furiously to the studies that made him the greatest of U. S. landscape painters. In his studios in Montclair, N. J., in Washington Square, he worked stripped to the waist, with...
