Carl Zimmerman Oil Painting on Canvas Board of Rural Landscape

Item Details

An oil painting on canvas board of a rural landscape by well-listed Cincinnati artist, muralist, and teacher Carl Zimmerman (1900-1985). Portrayed with large loose brushstrokes and suppressed detail, this work features a side view of a farm house with a prominent leafy tree in the foreground; a woman walks to the back of the house carrying some buckets while a couple people sit on the front porch to the right. The painting is signed to the lower right and the composition remains unframed.

Carl 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, Taft Museum and Cincinnati Art Museum. He was the president and a longtime member of the Cincinnati Art Club.
