William H Clapp
ARCA
1879 - 1954

William Clapp was born in Montreal to American parents. He was raised in California, but returned to Montreal to study at the Art Association of Montreal, under William Brymner. He continued his art training at the Académie Julian in Paris, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, and at the Académie Colarossi (1904-1908). In Paris, he adopted an impressionistic pointalist style, much like that of Camille Pissaro. Upon his return to Montreal,he began teaching, and continued to paint and exhibit his work. The art critics in Montreal were not accepting of Clapp's advanced impressionistic style. He perservered, however, becoming a member of the Canadian Art Club, the Pen and Pencil Club and ARCA.

In 1915, Clapp traveled to Cuba to paint. He remained there for two years, and then moved to Oakland California. In Oakland, he became curator and later director of the Oakland Art Gallery. In California, 1917, he became a founding member of the Society of Six, a group of plein air painters, known for their fresh and direct approach. He never returned to Canada, and died in Oakland in 1954. His work is represented in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
