HOEBER, ARTHUR, an American
painter; born in New York City in 1854.
He studied in New York and Paris.
While well known as a successful painter
his reputation perhaps rests on his art
criticism. He was art director for the
“New York Times” for three years and
was assistant editor of the “Illustrated
American” for one year. He later was
art critic for the “New York Globe” and
“Commercial Advertiser.” He was also
widely known as a lecturer on art
subjects. His popular writings include
“The Treasures of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art” (1892); “Painting in the
Nineteenth Century in France, Belgium,
Spain and Italy.” He was a member of
the International Art Association of
Chicago. He died in 1915.
