Lot 491
491. Fred Green Carpenter (American, 1882-1965), "Exotic
Landscape with Figures", c.1925; oil/canvas, 29" x 24", signed. Carpenter
was an important student of Richard Miller. He painted in Paris
from 1907-11, and then returned to St. Louis to teach at the Fine
Art School. This work reveals Carpenter's gradual transition
to more modern compositions, without abandoning the
knifework and palette of impressionism. Related Literature:

William Gerdts. An excellent example of
what would become Carpenter's signature style.
