John Mix Stanley Biography

(b Canandaigua, nr Rochester, NY, 14 Jan 1814; d Detroit, MI, 10 April 1872). American painter and photographer. He spent his youth in New York State, where, aged 14, he was apprenticed to a coach maker. In 1834 he moved to Detroit, MI, where he gained his first artistic experience, working as a sign painter. One year later he began to study art more seriously, enrolling as a pupil of the Philadelphia portrait painter James Bowman (1793–1842), with whom he opened a studio in Chicago in 1838. From 1839 he was an itinerant portrait painter, travelling from New York to Minnesota and working mostly in Wisconsin and Illinois. His first Indian portraits date from these years.
