William Howard Shuster Jr. (1893–1969) was an American painter, sculptor and teacher.
Youth
Shuster was born November 26, 1893, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the second of three children.[1]
He served in the U.S. Army during World War I in France, where he developed tuberculosis after being gassed.[2] He would receive a disability pension thereafter.
New Mexico
In 1920, Shuster moved to New Mexico[3] to improve his health and became friends with the small but growing arts community. Shuster made money doing ironwork and painting to supplement the pension.[4] In 1921, he became a member of Los Cinco Pintores ("the five painters"), and showed throughout Santa Fe and the rest of the country with the group.
