Karl Albert Buehr (1866 - 1952) American - Karl Albert Buehr (1866 - 1952) Oil on Canvas, Signed Lower Right ” R A Buehr ” Measures ( 16 x 12 inches ) w/frame ( 19 x 15 inches ) One of the early Chicago artists to adopt Impressionism, Karl Buehr became a figure and landscape painter. As a figure painter, his specialty became ”gorgeously colored images of young women on porches overlooking brilliant summertime gardens.” (Kennedy 98) His later work often showed a female figure with serious expression engaging the viewer with a direct stare. In his landscapes, he was noted for his strong coloration. In a December 1896 student exhibition at the Art Institute, a reviewer for the Chicago Times Herald described Buehr's landscapes as ”blithe and joyous” with ”country roads brilliant in sunlight . . . fields rich in summer verdure, under soft skies painted in a high, musical key.” Condition: Good Condition
