"Edward A. Bell began his art studies at the National Academy of Design at the age of seventeen. Two years later, in 1879, he became a member of the Art Students League, and in 1881, went to Europe, where he studied at Munich under Director Ritter Ludwig von Loefftz for two years. He subsequently; remained abroad eight years longer. "
"He early became convinced that the use of the model tended to make painting imitative rather than creative, which resulted in the formation of a style peculiarly his own. A sense of color and tone rather than of form characterizes his work. . The youthful female figure in great part forms the subject matter of his compositions, although mythological beings are frequently depicted on his canvases."
