Charles W. Dahlgreen Etching Signed "Lonesome"

Fine Art : Etchings

 

For your consideration, I am happy to present this wonderful etching by American artist, Charles W. Dahlgreen. It is one of several that I have acquired from an estate portfolio and will be adding to the shop.

Charles W. Dahlgreen changed careers in middle age; although born in 1864, he only began painting in the twentieth century.

Dahlgreen decided at age forty to study art seriously and to become a painter. A Chicagoan, Dahlgreen enrolled at the *Art Institute of Chicago where he worked under *John Vanderpoel, Frederick Freer, and *Wellington J. Reynolds. Already in 1906 he was exhibiting his paintings at the Art Institute (he continued to show over one hundred works there until 1943).

His work can be seen in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Decatur (Illinois) Art Center, the Vanderpoel Art Association Collection in Chicago, and the Museum of Science and Art in Los Angeles.

By the time Dahlgreen died in 1955, he had spent fifty years in his second career as a painter, working in Chicago and its Oak Park suburb.
