Description
Charles Salis Kaelin (Ohio, Massachusetts 1858-1929) depicting a harbor scene at night in Abstraction style. Signed C.S. Kaelin lower left. Matted and housed in wooden frame behind glass. Dimensions (sight): 11" x 8"T. Dimensions (frame): 20"x 18"T. Kaelin was born in Cincinnati in 1858, the son of a Swiss lithographer. Following in his father's footsteps, he entered a local lithographic firm at the age of sixteen. In the fall of 1877, he enrolled in evening classes at the McMicken School of Design (later known as the Art Academy of Cincinnati), where he was taught by Thomas Satterwhite Noble. During the summer or fall of 1878 Kaelin supplemented his studies at the McMicken by taking additional instruction from John Henry Twachtman, who had just returned to Cincinnati after sojourns in Munich and Venice. Not surprisingly, Twachtman's emphasis on landscape themes and his sketchy, Munich-inspired style appealed to Kaelin's own penchant for nature and subjective expression, much more so than Noble's preoccupation with academic portraiture and genre themes.
