Noted western genre, his father was noted Secy to three Generals on the frontier. He studied with Ufer and at the Academy Julien in Paris. Did portraits of Indians. Died in 1964.
Paintings by Mizen are very detailed and show the wonderful expressions of the Native Americans as well as their jewelry.
