Maurice Molarsky (also Morris Molarsky; May 25, 1881 -- January 1, 1950) was an American painter known for his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. His portraits are characterized by a traditional technique reminiscent of Velasquez. His landscapes and still lifes, however, are often painted in an airy, Impressionist style. He was equally comfortable working in either mode. Except for two years in Europe and six during which he kept a studio in New York City, Molarsky lived and worked in Philadelphia.
Early Life
Born to Jewish parents in Kiev, Russian Empire (now Ukraine), he and his family emigrated to the United States via London in the 1880s and settled in Philadelphia. When he was in high school, his artistic abilities were recognized by William Mason, the city's Superintendent of Drawing, and he was awarded a scholarship to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA).
At the Academy, Molarsky studied with Thomas Pollock Anshutz and William Merritt Chase, among others, and was awarded the prestigious Cresson Traveling Scholarship for 1904 and 1905. He spent the summer of 1904 at St. Ives, in Cornwall, under the tutelage of American painter Walter Elmer Schofield.
For the next two years, Molarsky studied and worked in Paris, where he had a studio at Rue de Vaugirard, No. 93. While in the French capital, Molarsky became friends with Alfred Henry Maurer, who was later one of the first American modernists. Molarsky's brother Abram Molarsky, also a painter, joined him in Paris in 1905. In April 1906, Maurice returned to Philadelphia, where he spent most of his professional life.
