Fame
Bruce Crane began to then study at New York's Arts Student League and in 1876 he was featured for the first time in an exhibit at the National academy of design, submitting his painting called Old Swedish Church, Philadelphia. He soon began to paint locations of East Hampton and Long Island which would bring him praise and critical approval (as well as a steady income.) One unnamed critic stated:
Crane had proved to the satisfaction of the art public that he handled one kind of landscape with as much ability as another. (His paintings) were treated as skillfully as his (his other works) with numerous variations of the leading motive of tone and color.
He then left New York to study in France with Jean Charles Cazin, a well known French painter of the 19th century. He experienced success there but things were about to change.

Famous quotes containing the word fame:
“Upon Saint Crispin’s day
Fought was this noble fray,
Which fame did not delay
To England to carry.
On when shall Englishmen
With such acts fill a pen,
Or England breed again
Such a King Harry?”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“Fame sometimes hath created something out of nothing. She hath made whole countries more than nature ever did, especially near the poles, and then hath peopled them likewise with inhabitants of her own invention, pigmies, giants, and amazons: yea, fame is sometimes like unto a mushroom, which Pliny recounts to be the greatest miracle in nature, because growing and having no root, as fame no ground of her reports.”
—Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)
