Kahlil Gibran, an artist, poet, and writer was born on January 6,
1883 n the north of modern-day Lebanon and in what was then part of
Ottoman Empire. He had no formal schooling in Lebanon. In 1895, the
family immigrated to the United States when Kahlil was a young man
and settled in South Boston. Gibran enrolled in an art school and
was soon a member of the avant-garde community and became
especially close to Boston artist, photographer, and publisher Fred
Holland Day who encouraged and supported Gibran's creative
projects. An accomplished artist in drawing and watercolor, Kahlil
attended art school in Paris from 1908 to 1910, pursuing a
symbolist and romantic style. He held his first art exhibition of
his drawings in 1904 in Boston, at Day's studio. It was at this
exhibition, that Gibran met Mary Elizabeth Haskell, who ten years
his senior. The two formed an important friendship and love affair
that lasted the rest of Gibran's short life. Haskell influenced
every aspect of Gibran's personal life and career. She became his
editor when he began to write and ushered his first book into
publication in 1918, The Madman, a slim volume of aphorisms and
parables written in biblical cadence somewhere between poetry and
prose. Gibran died in New York City on April 10, 1931, at the age
of 48 from cirrhosis of the liver and tuberculosis.
