Louis Orr (1879-1961) was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1879. His first art instruction was at the studio of the Art Society of Hartford. In 1906 Orr went to Paris and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts with Jean Paul Laurens.
Orr’s work is represented in many collections in France and England as well as America. He collaborated with William Gedney Bunce on two mural decorations in Hartford, Connecticut. There are thirty-three of his original drawings and etchings in the Luxemburg Gallery. His etched plate Le Canal de le Monnaie (Pont-Neuf) is part of the Louvre collection. From 1939 to 1951 Orr did a series of fifty etchings plus a large State Capitol etching in North Carolina representative of all sections of the state.
His work is also part of the collections of the Oakland Museum, New York Public Library Print Collection, and the Arbuckle Institute.
