Fairfield Porter Biography

(b Winnetka, IL, 10 June 1907; d Southampton, NY, 18 Sept 1975). American painter, printmaker and writer. He was the son of American architect James Porter (d 1939). He studied fine art at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, from 1924 to 1928 and spent the next two years studying painting and mural art under Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League in New York. He travelled extensively between 1927 and 1932, especially in Europe, where he came into contact with socialism. In 1935, while working as editor of the short-lived American socialist tabloid Arise , he began to write art criticism—an interest that culminated in his position as associate editor at ARTnews (from 1951) and as a frequent contributor to periodicals such as The Nation .
