George Wright (1850-1916)
Biography from Edward and Deborah Pollack Fine Art, Palm Beach, Florida

The son of George A. and Emma Wright, George Wright was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 13, 1850.  A member of the Philadelphia Society of Artists, the Art Club of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Sketch Club, he served as secretary of the latter from 1877 until 1885.  He also taught other artists in the city.  Wright exhibited his fine art frequently at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design, and other venues.  He kept a Philadelphia studio at 1334 Chestnut Street from 1879-80 and in the Baker Building at 1520 Chestnut Street from 1880 through at least 1906.

By 1910 Wright was living with his sister and brother in law in Ocean City, New Jersey, where the artist had spent several summers.  He died at the age of sixty-six on April 7, 1916, and is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. [Displaying 1000 of 3428 characters.]  Artist bio
