Life and career
Russell, a native of Nova Scotian immigrants, left school at age 9 and went to work, then went to college and later attended the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He skipped his fourth year to spend three months in Paris at the Académie Julian. Glenn Clark identifies four teachers who prepared him for a career in Boston, Howard Pyle in Philadelphia, and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris.
Russell, a youth, earned money as a church organist and music instructor as well as directing a trio in a hotel.
Russell married Helen Andrews (1874-1953), before he left Boston in 1894. They travelled to Paris for their wedding trip and Ariel's second term at the Académie Julian. Helen and Louise were born in 1894 and had two daughters after their wedding voyage in New York City. Russell's rise in New York was immediate; a reporter wrote in 1908, "Mr. Russell came from Boston and at once became a major artistic success."
Walter Russell's experiences as an illustrator, reporter, and builder in many questionnaires answered and submitted to Who's Who in America.
He attracted a lot of notice in 1900 with his allegorical painting The Might of Ages. At the Turin international exhibition, the painting represented the United States and received several accolades.
Russell had published three children's books (The Sea Children, The Bending of the Twig, and The Age of Innocence) and qualified for the Authors Club, which he joined in 1902.
Russell made his name as a builder by delivering $30 million worth of cooperative apartments. He has been credited with the development of "cooperative ownership" into an economically sound and workable model. The Hotel des Artists on West 67th Street in Manhattan, designed by architect George Mort Pollard, has been described as his masterpiece. Russell was also involved in the initial construction of Alwyn Court in Manhattan, along the 58th Streets, but the project was never completed.
Russell was recruited by IBM's chairman, Thomas J. Watson, as a motivational speaker for IBM workers in the 1930s. He was employed at IBM for a year.
Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, GM MacArthur, John Philip Sousa, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Charles Goodyear, George Gershwin, and others at age 56. He rose to the top of the charts as a sculptor. He was awarded commissions for the Mark Twain Memorial (1934) and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Monument (1943).
Russell was elected president of the Society of Arts and Sciences in 1927, making him a leader in the Science of Man movement. In the New York Times, his seven-year tenure produced several papers. The Society's gold medals were highly coveted.'
As World War II approached, he converted into a top-floor studio in Carnegie Hall, where he lived alone (his estranged wife Helen lived in Connecticut). He was supervising the casting of the Four Freedoms at the time. It was a difficult time for him to reclaim his strength and spirit. There had been rumors of his "egotism and self-aggrandizement" who offended him.
