After graduation from high school in Zumbrota, Minnesota, in 1940, Running enrolled at St. Olaf College (Northfield, Minnesota), studying there until 1942. From 1943-1944, Running attended Carleton College (Northfield, Minnesota) and Yale University. After service in the U.S. Army during World War II in Texas and the central Pacific as an Airborne Radio Marine Officer, he returned to St. Olaf and received his BA degree in 1947. He attended the State University of Iowa (now University of Iowa) between 1946 and 1951, receiving his MFA in painting in 1949 and PhD in art history in 1951. His dissertation was entitled, "The Flagellation of Christ: A Study in Iconography."
Beginning in 1949, Running taught drawing, painting and art history at a number of institutions including State University of Iowa, Northern Michigan College, St. Olaf College, Valley City College in North Dakota, and East Carolina College in Greenville, North Carolina. Running served as Professor of Drawing and Painting at Bowling Green State University from 1956 until his retirement in 1992.

He also developed and conducted art programs in Europe for BGSE in the summers of 1962, 1963, 1965, and 1967. He frequently visited Europe, painting there throughout many summers. Running died on January 20, 2013 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

- “Bourg-la-Reine, France”Located in Southampton, NYOriginal oil on canvas painting in very heavy impasto of a cityscape by the Serbian/French artist, Nicolas Markovitch. Signed Philippe lower left, one of the pseudonyms used by the artist. Dated to the right of signature 1960. Condition is very good. Bourg-la-Reine is the likely subject matter of the painting and was where the artist had made his home until his death in 1964. The painting is housed in its original frame in fine condition. Overall framed measurements are 28.75 by 25.25 inches. Provenance: A Ellenton, Florida collector. Bourg-la-Reine is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 9.1 km (5.7 mi) from the center of Paris. Nicolas Markovitch (Serbian-French, 1894-1964), artist, watercolorist, architect and block printer. Markovitch used more than a few pseudonyms over the course of his career, such as; A. Marc or just Marc, and J. Philippe or Jean Philippe. Alternate sources state other pseudonyms with the full name listed as Andre Marc or Andre Marc Rothenburg, which are both still incorrect for the artist. Markovitch was an architect who worked and lived in France, and is primarily known for his architectural paintings of city buildings, cathedrals and monuments, along with Swiss, Italian, German, English and Belgian landscapes, cityscapes, mountainscapes and seascapes, lake and marine scenes, and many scenes in the U.S. especially cityscapes of New York City and other places such as Gloucester, MA. Markovitch painted watercolor illustrations for several books (Paris, Editions, Alpina) from the late 1920's-early 40's, and is credited for the watercolors in the Editions with his real name Nicolas Markovitch or N. Markovitch. He was one of the best watercolorists of the time and went on to do a lot of work with the Stehli Brothers company Stehli Frères, Editeurs, Zurich, Switzerland throughout the 1930's and 40's. Stehli Frères published many different watercolor series of his works, and they were printed in various sizes, typically from about 9" x 12" to 12" x 16", and others as large as 18" x 24".?? For his original watercolor paintings, he always signed them with his true name Markovitch. For the reproduction lithographs of his landscapes and architectural series he signed them with the name A. Marc or just Marc. For his flower/botanical lithos...Category
