Paul Lauritz

Norwegian, 1889-1975

Paul Lauritz was born in Larvik, Norway, in 1889. He became a noted painter of portraits and desert landscapes based in California. Early in his career, he was in Alaska. He was raised in the picturesque Norwegian village of Larvik and exposed to famous painters from all over the world who came there for the subject matter. One of them, an English watercolorist, gave him painting lessons in exchange for his family providing board and room, and local painters Fritz Thoulaw and Christian Krogh also encouraged him as a young man. At age 16, he headed West and got a job in Vancouver, Canada and then Portland, Oregon as a commercial artist doing maps, posters and decorations. In Portland, Lauritz married Mary Potterton in 1912, and then began a career as a serious portrait artist. However, the lure of gold in Alaska took him and Mary to Sunrise Creek, where they lost money, and he vowed he would never again be distracted from his artwork. He became close to Alaska's most distinguished artist, Sydney Lawrence, who was impressed by Lauritz's determination and encouraged his art career in every way. A rare and beautiful painting by this talented artist.

"Chasing the Blackfeet" Original Oil Painting by Ace Powell
"Chasing the Blackfeet" Original Oil Painting by Ace Powell

"Chasing the Blackfeet" Original Oil Painting by Ace Powell

Located in Coeur d'Alene, ID

(1912-1978).Oil on canvas; 24" x 32". Son of a cowboy, Powell was raised in Apegar, MT, on the south side of Lake McDonald. His father was a stable boss, guide and tracker for Glacier National Park. As a boy, he watched Charles Russell paint in the Bull's Head Lodge in Apegar. PERIOD: Mid 20th century ORIGIN: Montana SIZE: 24" x 32" Biography: Apgar in Glacier Park was the gathering place for multitudes of artists drawn by the scenery, possible employment with Great Northern Railroad and sales to wealthy visiting art patrons. Bull Head Lodge, Charles M Russell summer home near by, was focus of the developing school. One can only guess at how great artists like Russell, Joe de Yong and host of others interacted with the young teen age wrangler who was likely first trying his hands with the tools of the art trade. Here though the seed was planted that would grow and lead Powell upon his own path and would blossom into over ten thousands works of arts drawn from first hand experiences along with those learned from firelight tales. Powell, like many others upon the frontier, followed the "Rounder" path of marriages, army service, hard drinking and cowboying, but like the lonely rider in many of his paintings whose horse is finally tied to the hitching post of a Northern Plains ranch cabin he found his home near Glacier National Park in Hungry Horse Montana . His home here from the 1950's till the 60's was like Charles Russell's with artists coming and going including his wife Nancy McLaughlin and his own son David Powell who started his trail to a Cowboy Artist of America induction here. After a fire in 1964, Ace Powell...
