Carl Zimmerman Original Oil on Academy Board Seascape Painting

Item Details

An original oil painting on academy board by well-listed American artist, muralist and teacher Carl Zimmerman (Cincinnati, Ohio, 1900-1985). The painting depicts foaming waves crashing against a rocky shoreline. The rocks twist into curious forms, and their misted faces reflect a variety of colors of bright light. The painting is signed in brown to the lower left, and again in graphite to the verso. It is presented without matting or framing.

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.
