Label TextA Polish immigrant as a boy, Weber studied art in the evening and diligently saved his money. By 1905, he had enough to sail to Paris, where he studied with Henri Matisse. He visited Gertrude Stein, met Pablo Picasso, and became a friend to Henri Rousseau. When Weber returned to New York in 1909 he helped to introduce Cubism to America. He became one of America’s first influential modernist artists.ProvenanceHelen Royce, Worcester; Greta W. Armstrong, Nazareth, PA.On View
