Richard Sussman, born in Minneapolis in 1908, was a distinguished artist known for his captivating depictions of the Lake Superior North Shore's landscapes, including its changing seasons, rock formations, jack pine, and waterfowl. He studied at the Minneapolis School of Art with Cameron Booth. He also studied at the Art Students League in New York and trained there with notable artists like George Grosz and Hans Hoffman. Sussman's works, primarily watercolors, are held in esteemed collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and University of Minnesota, among others.
