Early life and education
Henry Strater was born on January 21, 1896, in Louisville, Kentucky. He later attended Princeton University,[1] during which he befriended F. Scott Fitzgerald.[1] Strater was Fitzgerald's inspiration for the character "Burne Halliday" from the novel This Side of Paradise (1920).[1]
During 1917 and World War I, Strater enlisted in the French Red Cross and drove ambulances for the Allies.[6] In 1919 he returned to the United States to studied at the Art Students League of New York and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.[7] He also took some classes at Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid.[7]
In the 1920s, Strater studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in the Montparnasse district of Paris, under Edouard Vuillard.[1] While in Paris, Strater met Hemingway in a bar, where they had a brawl.[1] Later they became friends and Strater painted two portraits of Hemingway in late 1922 while still in Paris.[1][8][6]
