He graduated from the Cleveland School of Art, served in the Army in World War I and remained in Europe for several years where he taught art at American universities in Europe. In 1920, he returned to Ohio to teach at the Cleveland School, renamed in 1940 the Cleveland Institute of Art, and remained there until 1948. In 1927, he traveled extensively in Africa and used that subject matter for many years in his painting.
