Portrait of Maurice Prendergast

American, 1858–1924

Maurice Prendergast was an American Post-Impressionism painter. 47 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Maurice Prendergast was born in St. John's.

Maurice Brazil Prendergast (October 10, 1858 – February 1, 1924) was a Newfoundlander-American artist who painted in oil and watercolor, and created monotypes. His delicate landscapes and scenes of modern life, characterized by mosaic-like color, are generally associated with Post-Impressionism. Prendergast, however, was also a member of The Eight, a group of early twentieth-century American artists who, aside from Prendergast, represented the Ashcan School.
