Claude Buck was born in New York in 1890, and received his early instruction from his artist father. A child prodigy, Claude entered the National Academy of Design at the age of 14, staying on for the next 8 years. His works caught the eye of a Chicago art dealer, whose representation prompted his move there in 1919, where he participated in a number of exhibitions and one-man shows. In order to be closer to his son, Buck and his wife moved to Santa Cruz, California, in 1943. Buck is best known for his exquisite portraits and still lifes, both showing Asian design influences, and for his introspective symbolist paintings.
