He was born in Galesburg, Illinois in 1856 and, as a young man, went to Paris, where he studied in the popular atelier of Carolus-Duran. He returned to the U.S. in 1882, taking up residence in Manhatten, where he remained throughout his life.

Field exhibited extensively in cities throughout America and was a member of both the Salmagundi Club and the Boston Art Club. Though apparently successful in his lifetime, little is known about the artist today.

Of particular interest is his association in the ’90’s with the Pakatakan art colony near Arkville, New York, in the heart of the Catskills. The presence of Field, John Francis Murphy, Ada Clifford Murphy, and Alexander Wyant make the Pakatakan colony significant in the history of American Tonalism.

Field died in New York City only months before the outbreak of World War I
