See below from Natl' Academy of Art bio. John Fabian Carlson (May 5, 1875 – May 19, 1947) was a Swedish-born American Impressionist painter. from Wikipedia Background John Fabian Carlson was born in Kolsebo in Västervik Municipality, Kalmar County, in Småland, Sweden. The Carlson family immigrated to the United States in 1884, making their home in Buffalo, New York. Carlson attended evening art classes at the Art Students League of Buffalo, New York. There Carlson received instruction from Lucius Wolcott Hitchcock, a former pupil at the Académie Colarossi in Paris and the Art Students League of New York. Carlson won a scholarship in 1903 or 1904 to study with Lovell Birge Harrison at the Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock, New York. Carlson began exhibiting work in such national shows as the annual of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1905. From this period on, he maintained an active exhibition schedule and submitted works in a variety of media, though with particular success in watercolor and oil. In 1906, the Art Students League Summer School awarded Carlson his third scholarship to study Landscape painting. Carlson became a specialist in winter scenes and received an appointment as assistant director of Woodstock in 1908.[1] Career In 1911, he won his first important award at the Swedish-American Exhibition in Chicago and when he was elected to Associate membership of the National Academy of Design. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed by the Art Students League to the directorship of the Woodstock School of Landscape Painting. In 1912, the Salmagundi Club presented him with the Vezin Prize for watercolors, as well as the first Isidor Prize. In the following year, Carlson won a silver medal from the Washington Society of Artists.[2] Carlson won a silver medal at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition of 1915. He was presented with the Carnegie Prize and the Altman First Prize by the National Academy of Design in 1918, and, in the following year, he resigned his position as director of Woodstock School of Landscape Painting. In 1920, Carlson began teaching during the summer months at the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Carlson founded the John F. Carlson School of Landscape Painting at Woodstock in 1922. Three years later, the artist was elected a full member of the National Academy of Design.[3] In 1928, Carlson published an instructional book entitled Elementary Principles of Landscape Paintings. The book was reprinted in 1953, 1958, 1970 and 1973. More recent editions have been titled Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting.[4] National Academy of Art He worked at a lithographic house there and studied art under John Mayer, an amateur actor and painter, and at the Albright Art Gallery school under Lucius Hitchcock. In 1902 he received a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York, where he studied with Frank Vincent DuMond and Birge Harrison. Carlson first went to Woodstock, New York, in 1903 as a student at Byrdcliff under Harrison. In 1906, at Carlson's urging, the Art Students League established a summer school in Woodstock, where he became an instructor, and from 1911 to 1918, served as director. In 1913 he married a painter he met in Woodstock, Margaret Goddard of Plainfield, New Jersey. The couple spent part of each year in Plainfield. He was a cofounder of the Broadmoor (Colo.) Art Academy and served as its director from 1920 to 1922. The next year he established his own school of landscape painting in Woodstock. Carlson wrote Elementary Principles of Landscape Painting (1928), which was later reissued as Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting. A regular contributor to Academy exhibitions, Carlson won the Academy's Andrew Carnegie Prize in the winter exhibition of 1918. He served on the Council from 1935 to 1936. SELLERS STATEMENT I have been in the art business as an artist and collector since the early 80's. I'm currently offering select paintings from my collection like this one. In order to collect new paintings, I must sell off some of my current collection. For art that I have painted, it is derived in a variety of ways. I'm a responder. I respond to light, color, design, etc. and I love painting both outdoors on location and in the studio under a controlled environment. I try to convey an idea, mood or just simply a beautiful setting. I'm inspired by a wide variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way. My paintings have won numerous awards over the years and have been collected both nationally and internationally. They can be found in three museum collections, the White House Collection and many private collections.
