Painter, sculptor, author, and magician Merton Clivette (1868-1931), spent his early life as a vaudevillian and entertainer before he settled in New York City to paint, and was a well-known figure in the Bohemian Greenwich Village scene of the 1920s. While Clivette's early artistic style was associated with the realism of the Ashcan school his work evolved through periods of expressionism and more figurative work, before ultimately becoming more abstract.
