Florian K. Lawton
(1921-2011)
Florian Kenneth Lawton made watercolors of regional Amish and sold them around the world.
Professor Henry Adams of Case Western Reserve University wrote, "Florian Lawton had a gentle touch, and excelled in the rendering of subtle winter scenes. He also had special affinity for the Amish, whose customs appealed to his sense of enduring values, and his drawings and watercolors of Amish subjects are remarkable not only in visual terms but for their value as a cultural and historical record."
Lawton was raised in Garfield Heights by a family without artists but showed early interest. He graduated from Garfield Heights High School, the Huntington Polytechnic Institute and what later became the Cleveland Institute of Art.
During World War II, he made topographical maps in the Pacific for the Army Air Corps. He also decorated airplanes and tanks with pictures of scantily clad women.
After the war he lived in Pepper Pike, Shaker Heights, Moreland Hills and Aurora. He made friends with Amish people in Geauga County, Holmes County and Pennsylvania. Some who shunned photographs let him depict them, and a few studied drawing with him.
Lawton found many other subjects, from Cleveland streets to a quail hunt. His works belong to the White House, Fortune 500 companies, museums and more around the world. He also illustrated many local calendars and holiday cards, once depicting his bearded son, Kenneth, as Jesus.
Lawton was listed in the Whos Who in American Art. He was a featured artist with Mill Pond Press, and a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, Midwest Watercolor Society and Whiskey Painters of America, and the Akron Society of Artists. His awards numbered over 60, and he had an equal number of one man shows nationally.

- The Duomo, FlorenceBy Donald Shaw MacLaughlanLocated in Fairlawn, OHThe Duomo, Florence Watercolor, 1914 Signed and dated lower center edge (see photo) Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, is the cathedral of Florence, Italy. It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. Condition: Excellent Image size: 16 3/4 x 14 1/2 inches Frame size: 24 1/4 x 22 inches Donald Shaw MacLaughlan was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada on November 9, 1876. His family moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1890 where he began to experiment with different art media; watercolor, oil painting and finally, etching – with a few attempts at lithography. He spent much of his early years at the Boston Public Library studying the work of printmakers, from Durer and Rembrandt to the 18th century English, French and Italian masters. Like many American artists of the time MacLaughlan traveled to Europe to study in Paris, enrolling in the Ecole des Beaux Arts and studied further with Jean Leon Gerome and Jean Paul Laurens. In 1899 he began producing etchings, which became his major interest until his death in 1938. He became acquainted with James NcNeill Whistler (1834-1903) and other artists who created etchings and spent time studying the etchings of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) and other old masters in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale. Both Rembrandt and Whistler would have major influences on his art. In 1900 he created a set of 25 etched views of Paris and in 1901 exhibited two etchings in the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He returned to the U.S. in 1903, then went back to Paris the following year. He traveled extensively in Europe, visiting England, Switzerland, Italy and Spain as well as various locales in France. His etched views of Venice were well-known. MacLaughlan exhibited views of Paris, Rouen, Normandy and Italy in 1906 in a solo show at the American Art Association Galleries in Paris. He also displayed his work in the 1906 exhibitions of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the Société des Peintres-Graveurs Français. MacLaughlan even instructed other expatriate Canadian artists then living in Paris, most notably Clarence...Category
