William Samuel Horton, American painter, was born in Michigan before settling in Europe, where he spent most of his life. Trained at the Art Institute of Chicago, then at the Académie Julian in Paris with Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens, he chose to devote himself to painting despite the hostility of his family. A tireless traveler, he stayed in France, England, Switzerland and Norway, multiplying the motifs and atmospheres. Exhibited from 1903 at the Salon d'Automne and from 1906 at the Salon des Indépendants, William Horton was also presented at the Galerie Georges Petit and the Galerie Charpentier, establishing himself as a remarkable figure of the beginning of the century.
His work, largely inspired by Impressionism, testifies to a fascination for light and its metamorphoses. Horton painted outdoors, capturing the vibration of a changing sky, the transparency of a reflection on the water or the softness of luminous snow. His lively and colorful touch, often compared to that of Monet, nevertheless reveals a singular sensitivity: more direct, more dazzling, sometimes almost audacious in the use of colors. Each composition presents itself as an invitation to contemplate the fleeting beauty of the moment.
