專家說明

Louis Mayer (1869-1969) was a noted American painter and sculptor and early friend of Steichen. He founded the Society of Milwaukee Artists in 1900, and later moved to Fishkill, New York, along the Hudson River. He is best known for his portrait busts, especially of Lincoln (about whom he shared a fascination with Steichen as well as with Steichen’s brother-in-law, the celebrated poet Carl Sandburg), and of his friend Albert Schweitzer.
