Alexander R. James

From finding aid for Alexander Robertson James Papers at the Smithsonian: "Portrait painter. The younger son of psychologist William James (1842-1910), brother of painter William James (1882-1961), and nephew of novelist Henry James, Alexander James was actually christened Francis Temple Tweedy James in 1890. In 1925 he had his name officially changed to Alexander Robertson James. Later in life he dropped the Robertson and became Alexander James. He studied with Abbott Handerson Thayer and was a close friend of John Singer Sargent and Rockwell Kent." https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/alexander-robertson-james-papers-8237 accessed 3/18/19 M Phelps
