Imens i livet hos Charles Demuth
Hele livet1907–1921
Encounters modernism on trips to Europe
On trips to Europe between 1907 and 1921 he is introduced to modernism; in Paris he studies at the Académie Colarossi and the Académie Julian and joins the avant-garde scene, where his homosexuality is accepted. Before that he had studied in Philadelphia, at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz, where he befriended the future poet William Carlos Williams — the two remained close for life.
1907–1921
Meets Hartley, and through him Stieglitz
In Paris he walks up to a table of American artists and asks to join them, and so meets Marsden Hartley; his humour, rich in double entendres, makes him a regular member of their group. Through Hartley he meets Alfred Stieglitz and joins the Stieglitz group; he is also a regular guest at Gertrude Stein’s salon.
1909
A relationship with Robert Evans Locher
From 1909 onward he maintains a romantic relationship with Robert Evans Locher, an Art Deco interior decorator and stage designer.
