Harry Leslie Hoffman

Harry Leslie Hoffman (1871 - 1964) was active/lived in Connecticut.  Harry Hoffman is known for Landscape, still life and underwater view painting.

A man with strong academic art training, Harry Hoffman was judged by his peers to have done best with his landscapes when he painted what he saw and set aside the theories. He studied in Paris, worked at Yale University with John Ferguson Weir, and was a student at the Art Students League with Frank DuMond. But Willard Metcalf had the strongest influence, encouraging Hoffman to paint in the style of impressionism.
