Earl Henry Brewster is best known for his gestural oil landscapes of coastal and street scenes. He began his formal artistic training at the Cleveland School of Art in 1898. Upon graduating, Brewster further pursued his artistic career and moved to New York, refining his technique while continuing his education at the New York School of Art and at the Art Students League, working under the likes of Frank Vincent Du Mond. In doing so he established his distinctive, signature painting style and content for which he became recognized. Brewster moved to India in 1936 where he became immersed in Buddhism. His works are held in a variety of public and private institutions, including the National Academy of Design, the New York Art School, the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, the Galerie Cheron and Grand Palais in Paris, the Government Museum and Art Gallery in Chandigarh in India, among others.
