About the author
Walter Bowman Russell (May 19, 1871 – May 19, 1963) was an American impressionist painter, sculptor, philosopher, and author. Russell wrote extensively on topics about philosophy, sociology and science, but his ideas did not gain much attention from the scientists at the time. == Life and career == Born in Boston on May 19, 1871, to Nova Scotian immigrants, Russell left school at age 9 and went to work, then put himself through the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He interrupted his fourth year to spend three months in Paris at the Académie Julian. Biographer Glenn Clark identifies four instructors who prepared him for an art career: Albert Munsell and Ernest Major in Boston, Howard Pyle in Philadelphia, and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris. In his youth, Russell earned money as a church organist and music teacher, and by conducting a trio in a hotel. Before he left Boston in 1894, Russell married Helen Andrews (1894–1953). They traveled to Paris for their wedding trip and a second term for him at the Académie Julian. After their wedding trip, they settled in New York City in 1894 and had two daughters, Helen and Louise.
