He received early training at the Cincinnati Art Academy with Thomas Noble. Subsequently, he received a scholarship to train in Paris at the Academie Julian with William-Adolphe Bouguereau and also in Rome. His European studies were from ~ 1896-1898. While there he exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1896 and 1898. When back in the U.S. he obtained a position as a portrait teacher at the St. Louis School of Fine Art, where he remained for three years until 1903. At the school he met his future wife/artist Alice Beach Winter. These artists later became a mainstay and important figures in the Cape Ann art colony in MA. Upon leaving St Louis, Winter became a popular portrait painter in New York, and also created illustrations for prominent magazines of the day such as Hearst's, Cosmopolitan and Colliers. While back home he exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Academy of Design. He is known primarily for his impressionistic,brightly colored landscapes and seascapes around the Gloucester area. He also produced a number of works as he described which were "allegorical,fantastic and imaginative". His most prominent public works were large murals in the Gloucester City Hall under the auspices of the WPA project in the 1930's. The Winters arrived and were summer residents in Gloucester in ~1910 and thereafter. They eventually settled there year-round in 1931. They were friends and hosted many prominent N.Y artists of the day at their home in Gloucester. This Group became known as the "Red Cottage Gang" and included such luminaries as John Sloan, Agnes Richmond, Stuart Davis, Paul Cornoyer among many others. Mr Winter died in 1942, and his records are housed in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. As ever this is guaranteed 100% money back, to be as represented.
