Carl Zimmerman Watercolor Painting on Paper Wooded Landscape

Item Details

A watercolor painting on paper wooded landscape by Cincinnati artist Carl Zimmerman (American, 1900-1985). Rows of trees with white bark run vertically with a background of dense forest contrasting the slender trees. Possibly influenced by Van Gogh’s Undergrowth with two Figures which was acquired by the Cincinnati Art Museum in 1967, a place Zimmerman frequented often throughout his life. Signed to the lower right ‘Carl Zimmerman.’ Mounted to foam core with a white matting and wrapped in acetate.

Zimmerman was a prominent Cincinnati artist, known for his mural and oil paintings, as well as his teaching ability. He studied under Reginald Grooms, John E. Weis, and Herman Wessel. In 1927, Zimmerman received his first commission to paint a mural through the recommendation of John E. Weiss, and after much success, he was commissioned to paint murals for large cities across the United States. Zimmerman taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, the Taft Museum of Art, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. He was the president and a longtime member of the Cincinnati Art Club.
