Harry P. Carnohan was active/lived in Texas, California. Harry Carnohan is known for landscape, figure, and portrait painter, graphics.

Landscape, figure, portrait painter and graphic artist Harry Peyton Carnohan was born on April 18, 1904 in Milford, Texas, moving to Dallas around 1910. He studied privately with Vivian Aunspaugh and Frank Reaugh before attending the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois. Carnohan then spent five years in Paris, Florence, and Rome, one of them studying with Andre Lhote. He financed his sojourn in Europe on a foreign study scholarship, the Bryan Lathrop Traveling Fellowship, in 1926 from the Art Institute that was supplemented by a Guggenheim Fellowship. He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, in 1927.

Carnohan had a varied career as a painter portrait, landscape and figure; a muralist, graphic artist, writer, critic and teacher. His media were oil, watercolor, pastel and tempera.

Back in Dallas in 1930, Carnohan was active in the Dallas Artists League, and the Dallas Nine southwestern regionalist artists. He was more open, at that time, to European modernist styles like Surrealism than fellow regionalist painters Alexandre Hogue and Jerry Bywaters. One of his best-known paintings, "West Texas Landscape", depicting a shed, hose, bucket and rocks, has Surrealist influences. The painting was awarded a purchase prize in 1935 at the Seventh Annual Allied Arts Exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. It was also considered one of the two finest paintings exhibited by Texan artists at the Centennial Exposition in 1936.

As an art critic for the "Dallas Journal", he wrote articles on exhibitions that influenced the Dallas Nine (regionalist painters), including the Kress traveling exhibition of early Italian painters, in 1933; the College Art Association's exhibition of Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, 1934; and an exhibition of contemporary lithographers organized by Lloyd Rollins for the Dallas Museum of Art, 1934.
