Leon Kroll

Leon Kroll was an American painter known for his landscapes, portraits, and figure paintings. He was born in New York City and studied at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design.

Kroll's early works were influenced by the Ashcan School, which focused on depicting the grittiness of urban life. However, he eventually turned to painting landscapes and became known for his depictions of the Adirondack Mountains and the coast of Maine.

Kroll also produced a large number of portraits, including those of prominent figures such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter.

Kroll was a member of several art organizations, including the National Academy of Design, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the American Watercolor Society. He received numerous awards during his career, including the National Academy of Design's Altman Prize in 1922.

Today, Kroll's works can be found in several museums and collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
