WAY, Andrew John Henry, artist, born in Washington, D. C., 27 April, 1826; died in Baltimore, Maryland, 7 February, 1888. He studied first with John P. Frankenstein in Cincinnati, then with Alfred J. Muller in Baltimore, and in 1850 went to Paris. After a stay in Europe of four years he returned to his native country, settling in Baltimore. For some time his attention was given mainly to portraiture, but a fruit-piece that he painted about 1859 attracted the attention of Emanuel Leutze, on whose advice he devoted himself thenceforth to the painting of still-life subjects. In this branch he had great success, excelling especially in the representation of grapes. At the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876 he received a medal for two panels. His numerous works include " A Christmas Memory" (1870); "Prince Albert Grapes" and "Flora and Pomona" (1874); "Wild Fowl" (1882) . "A Sportsman's Luck " (1883); and "To my Sweetheart" and "Preparation for Apple Toddy" (1887). Several of his paintings have been lithographed.--His son, George Brevitt, born in Baltimore, Maryland, 29 October, 1854, was educated at the United States naval academy, studied art in Paris, and has followed it as a profession. Among his works are "Sunset" (1883) and "Twilight on the Susquehanna," "Village Scene in Brownsville," and "On the Upper Potomac" (1884).
