Peixotto, Ernest Clifford

Ernest Clifford Peixotto (1869 - 1940) was an American artist, illustrator, and author. He is most well known for his travel literature and murals. Peixotto was a frequent contributor to Scribner's Magazine. He studied art at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art before traveling to France in 1888 where he studied at the Accadémie Julian under Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. Peixotto returned to the United States in 1894, joining the staff of Scribner's Magazine in New York, before returning to France for work relating to the magazine. During this period, Peixotto illustrated Theodore Roosevelt's Life of Oliver Cromwell. During World War I, he became the director of the United States Army's art-training center, which subsequently merged with the École des Beaux-Arts in 1923. Following the merger, Pleixotto remained as the chair of the school's American Committee while simultaneously serving as the director of New York's Beaux-Arts Institute of Design's mural department. Peixotto was active in the arts community until the time of his death, serving as president of the National Society of Mural Painters (1929-35), president of the School Art League of New York (1936-40), as a member of the Art Commission of New York City (1935-40), and was the director of murals for the 1939 New York World's Fair. Peixotto died in 1940.
