In 1912, he went to Provincetown to study under Charles Hawthorne. He spent his early years as an artist painting portraits. Instead of executing the portraits of upper class women, as was the trend during that time, Beneker chose instead to portray working-class people such as laborers and fishermen that lived near his summer home in Truro, Massachusetts. Beneker made his living not as a portraitist, but rather as an illustrator. He created illustrations for magazines as well as war posters.1 1. “Gerrit A.

Moffett enjoyed several important commissions during his career, including murals for the Works Progress Administration and for the National Academy of Design in Abilene, Kansas. Many of Moffett’s paintings, however, drew their inspiration from his life in Provincetown. “I continued working, endeavoring to mine the vein I had uncovered. My subject was life in Provincetown as I observed it visually during my many walks in the town.”1 1. del Deo, Josephine, “Moffett, Ross,” Provincetown Artist Registry, 2005. provincetownartistregistry.com/M/ moffett_ross.html

In 1912, he went to Provincetown to study under Charles Hawthorne. He spent his early years as an artist painting portraits. Instead of executing the portraits of upper class women, as was the trend during that time, Beneker chose instead to portray working-class people such as laborers and fishermen that lived near his summer home in Truro, Massachusetts. Beneker made his living not as a portraitist, but rather as an illustrator. He created illustrations for magazines as well as war posters.1 1. “Gerrit A.

Moffett enjoyed several important commissions during his career, including murals for the Works Progress Administration and for the National Academy of Design in Abilene, Kansas. Many of Moffett’s paintings, however, drew their inspiration from his life in Provincetown. “I continued working, endeavoring to mine the vein I had uncovered. My subject was life in Provincetown as I observed it visually during my many walks in the town.”1 1. del Deo, Josephine, “Moffett, Ross,” Provincetown Artist Registry, 2005. provincetownartistregistry.com/M/ moffett_ross.html
