Carl Peters"Gathering Firewood in Snow" Landscape, Figures, Nature, Cape Ann Artist
About the Item
Beautiful estate-stamped Carl Peters in Newcomb Macklin frame.
Born in 1897 in Rochester, New York, to German immigrants, Carl W. Peters found his calling as an artist at an early age. Raised in modest surroundings, his family later moved to a fruit farm, shaping his connection to nature.
Leaving high school to pursue art, Carl studied at the Mechanics Institute while working on the family farm and in an art studio. His artistic talent shone, earning him recognition and prizes. In World War I, his skills as a scenery painter led him to serve as a camouflage artist in France.
Post-war, Carl's artistic journey soared. He garnered accolades, becoming nationally known for his impressionistic landscapes. The Great Depression drove him to government-sponsored mural work, including a celebrated piece at the Fairport Public Library in Rochester.
Amidst life's changes, including the end of his first marriage, Carl found solace and inspiration in two significant places. Winters were spent in Fairport, capturing the essence of frozen creeks and landscapes. Summers brought him to Rockport, Massachusetts, a coastal haven for artists. There, he met Blanche, his second wife and lifelong partner.
In Rockport, Carl's cottage studio became a sanctuary where he painted daily and offered lessons to vacationers. Summers in Rockport, coupled with winters in Fairport, formed the backdrop of his prolific artistic output. The Rockport Art Association holds Peters in high esteem to this day.
Today, Carl W. Peters is celebrated for his captivating winter scenes and nautical views. His paintings, bearing the distinct signature, adorn galleries and museums, including the Fairport Public Library in Rochester. His legacy is one of dedication to art, a connection to nature, and a humble, gentle spirit that touched those who knew him.

- "Solebury Valley"By William Langson LathropLocated in Lambertville, NJSigned lower right. Complemented by a period frame. William L. Lathrop (1859-1938) Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony. Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...Category
