Happy Birthday Abbott Thayer!! American painter, born in 1849 and studied in Paris. He was an expert at portraying idealized female forms. Called the “Father of Camouflage” Thayer experimented with coloration and countershading to create protection in nature. Although somewhat eccentric, he was quite a popular portrait painter and had many commissions.
