Artist bio: Arnold Whitman Knauth (b.1918)In the modern day and age of bluster and boast, Arnold set the example for his descendants; three generations who learned that being soft spoken, understated and attentive would bring them into a world of keen observation. He taught them pleasure in the smallest things and brought a sense of humor as self-deprecating as it was wise. 
Arnold grew up in New York City and Quissett Harbor between the wars. His education at Middlesex School, Harvard University, and the National Academy of Design giving breadth and curiosity, essential for a great artist.
