Between 1915 and 1921 Leo Katz painted many famous portrait studies including those of the Vanderlip family. Mr Frank Vanderlip later sponsored Leo to come to the United States where he then taught the first courses on Modern Art at the Metropolitan Museum in NY and completed a one man show of portraits at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
