At birth few could possibly have known that another member of the Wiles family, a boy named Irving, would grow up to become a noted American artist. Like his father, the Hudson River School painter Lemuel M. Wiles, he would teach others to paint while constantly honing his own skills. Irving studied under William Merritt Chase and James Carroll at the Art Students League of New York, and in the 1890s, Wiles succeeded Chase as an instructor. During his own lifetime he was featured in art exhibitions both in America and around the world. Hundreds of entries from this book document a wide variety of canvas sizes, landscape subjects, and patrons that helped him earn a comfortable living following the dawn of the twentieth century.
