Carl Zimmerman Oil Painting on Canvas of Winter Landscape
Item Details
An oil painting on canvas of a winter landscape by well-listed Cincinnati artist, muralist, and teacher Carl Zimmerman (1900-1985). Portrayed with loose gestural brushstrokes, this work features a hilly snow-covered landscape populated with barren trees and patches of dried foliage. A railway crossing in the immediate foreground is intersected by a road winding into the distance. The painting is signed to the lower right and it 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.
