Albert Groll Prints and Multiples
American, 1866-1952
1866-1952
Born in New York City in 1866, Albert Groll became a much-admired, successful western desert landscape and skyscape painter. In 1910, he was elected to the National Academy of Design. Many of his paintings had rich colors and were landscapes with elements of realism, but they also had a focus on abstract shapes.
He spent most of his student years in Munich, Germany, at the Royal Academy studying with Ludwig Loefftz; he also studied at the Royal Academy in Antwerp, something few Americans were doing in the late 19th century.
In 1905, Groll first came to Arizona, where he became a friend and guest of Indian dealer Lorenzo Hubbell at his well-known Ganado Trading Post. One of Groll's desert scenes, Arizona, won a gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1906. In 1908, Groll spent the summer in Arizona and at Yellowstone National Park. It was Groll who introduced the general public to the varying landscapes of Arizona that made the desert so appealing.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Albert Lorey Groll (1866-1910) was born in New York in 1866, the son of a pharmacist immigrant from Darmstadt, Germany. During his early years, he traveled to Europe to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Nicholas Gysis and Ludwig von Löfftz. He further pursued his studies in London and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. Groll returned to New York in 1895 and moved from figure to landscape painting while expanding his interests to printmaking.
In 1904 Groll made the first of several trips to the American Southwest, traveling to Arizona with ethnographer Stewart Culin of the Brooklyn Museum. Later he went to New Mexico with his friend, the artist and illustrator William Robinson Leigh (see our 1stDibs listing no. LU53239015112 ). He focused on impressionistic scenes of Native American lands. The Laguna Pueblo people admired Groll's paintings, honoring him with the name "Chief Bald Head Eagle Eye."
Groll kept a studio in the Gainsborough Studios in Manhattan and won several awards for his work in Arizona and New York, including the Salmagundi Club Shaw Prize in 1904 and a gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1906. He was also awarded the George Inness gold medal from the National Academy of Design in 1912 for his painting of Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies.
In 1910 he was elected into the National Academy of Design and, in 1919, an associate member of the Taos Society...
