More Information
Max Weber, born in a part of Russia that today is in Poland, emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1891. He studied at Pratt Institute in New York City before traveling to Paris, living there from 1905 to 1908, where he arranged for Henri Matisse to teach a class to him and to other budding artists. He returned to the United States in 1909 and was championed by Alfred Stieglitz, becoming a writer, poet, and teacher of art history, as well as an artist.
