About the Item
Unusual winter scene by renowned California impressionist Karl Schmidt. A cozy cottage nestled in the mountains. Oil on board from the Karl Scmidt collection. 12.25" x 16.25", 15.5" x 19.5" framed. Unsigned but with collection label and catalog number.
Karl Schmidt was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on Jan. 11, 1890. Schmidt began drawing and painting when quite young. After graduating from Polytechnic Institute in his native city, he traveled to England where he studied art and painted land and seascapes of Cornwall and coast of Brittany. In England he probably came under the influence of the arts and crafts painter Frank Brangwyn and, in turn, Japanese art.
Schmidt returned to the US and was a resident of Boston and Worcester until 1915 when he moved to Santa Barbara, California where he was associated with the group of painters who worked in California artist Alexander Harmer's mission-style studio. In California, Schmidt expanded a decorative painting style in which he abstracted landscape forms, rendering them as flat planes of color thoughtfully arranged within his compositions. His approach suggests the influence of the art of Arthur Wesley Dow, whose method was disseminated by the many Dow students who settled in the Los Angeles area in the early twentieth century.
In 1918 he joined the Navy and served in the Bureau of Aeronautics. He later pioneered construction of lighter-than-air craft and rose to the rank of commander.
He exhibited extensively in Southern California and throughout the United States.
Karl Schmidt died in Los Gatos, near San Jose, California on Sept. 26, 1962.

Late 19th Century Landscape - "After The Snow"
By Constantin Aleksandrovich Westchiloff
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous late 19th-century snowscape titled "After the Snow," by artist Constantin Alexandrovitch Westchiloff (1877-1945) Signed on the bottom right corner and titled on edge (the color differences in the signature letters are original to the painting prior to cleaning, and have not been modified or augmented). Unframed. Image size: 14.25"H x 20.25"W
Westchiloff is an American-Russian artist. He was born in Russia in 1877, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg; as an artist, he traveled extensively in Europe and in the USA. He finally settled in New England, where he died in 1945.
He is probably best-known for seascapes (particularly of the New England coastline) but was also well regarded for his landscapes, portraits and figures, and genre subjects.
His work, especially after his travels in Europe and then in America, is closest to Impressionist in style. His favored medium was oil, which was well suited to his confident and strong technique. This, in turn, imbued his paintings of the rugged landscapes and seascapes of New England...
