Description:
Carl G. Nelson, born in Sweden in 1898, came to the United States when he was five-years-old. A part-time resident of Cranberry Isles for 21-years and a full-time resident for 19-years following his retirement from teaching in Boston, he died Aug. 6, 1988, at the age of 91. Carl Nelson was a professional teaching artist. After retiring at 71, he bought a piece of land and settled in a house on Great Cranberry. He called his little estate "Tosh Park", Nelson is noted for his beautiful pen and inks, oils, casein paintings and handsome linoleum cuts. His work is currently represented in museums, gallerys, universities and both government and private collections. He has a long list of exhibitions to his credit at the Whitney Museum Biennials, Chicago Art Institute, Institute of Contemporary Art and the American Federation of the Arts to name oniy a few. He has had many one-man shows in New York, Boston, Cambridge, Fitchburg, Mass., and Atlanta. His works have also been reproduced in a number of books — from Herbert Agar's "Land of the Free", in 1935 to "American Drawings; Drawings of the Masters" by Bartlett H. Hayes in 1975. The documentary film "Of Endless Wonder" was made in 1969 by Betsy Seigal and David Westphall of Brandeis. The artist was born in Sweden, studied at the Art Student's League in New York, was a Tiffany Foundation scholar, and graduated from the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. [show more]
