J. Charles Arter
Floral painter and teacher trained in Paris
Arter was from Hanoverton, Ohio, the son of a farmer. Despite his father's determination to have his son follow in his footsteps, the lad made his way to Cincinnati where he made a living as a flower painter and by teaching others. Then in Paris he studied under Gustave Boulanger and Jules-Joseph Lefebvre, who taught hundreds of young, aspiring Americans at the Académie Julian.
