Kenneth Frazier (1867-1949) was a well regarded American painter and illustrator whose work combined the influences of the Impressionist, Art Nouveau, and Realist styles. Frazier was born in Paris to American parents, after graduating from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, he returned to Europe to study. First at the Herkomer School in the U.K. and later, and more importantly, in Paris at the Academie Julian as a pupil under Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant. While in France, he was also much influenced by the new style of Impressionism then taking hold in avant-garde Paris. His circle of friends included Toulouse-Lautrec, Verlaine, Whistler and Oscar Wilde. On his return to America, he worked as an artist and resided in New York City. Frazier was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1906.
