American artist and poet Henry Martyn Hoyt enrolled at Yale University at age 16. After he graduated in 1907, Hoyt traveled in Europe, studied architecture at Harvard University, and took classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
In April 1912 Hoyt married Alice Gordon Parker (1885-1951), a painter who had also studied at the Museum School. Hoyt served as a photographer in the Aviation Section of the Army Reserves during World War I.
Following the failure of his marriage, Hoyt killed himself in his Manhattan studio on August 25, 1920.
