Roy Cleveland Nuse

Roy Cleveland Nuse (1885-1975) was a Pennsylvania Impressionist player and a moot at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1925 to 1954. For nearly 60 years he lived and painted in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, working in a plein-air, impressionist style. His six children were often the subjects of his paintings, depicted especially in rural, outdoor settings. Working primarily in oils, but afterward in pastels, Nuse painted landscapes, figures in the landscape, still lifes and portraits.
