Impressionist oil on board 12 x 16 in. The following biographical data concerning Carle Michel Boog is supplied by Charles M. Dilberger, grandnephew of Mr. Boog who lives in Staten Island, NY.I knew my Uncle Carle from about 1945 (when I was five years old) until his death on April 21, 1968. Our family lived only a few streets away in Brooklyn from the house he occupied with my grandmother and my great- grandmother. In fact his art studio was located on the second floor at 206 Parkville Avenue, Brooklyn for about fifty years. My four sisters and I often had to pose ( usually reluctantly) for many of his sketches.The site of his painting Old New York was actually the view from his ceiling to floor studio window facing Parkville Avenue; the Young Girl Sewing is my mother in the backyard at Parkville Ave.Carle Michel Boog was born on June 27, l877 in Luzern, Switzerland and was brought to New York as a child. In the early twentieth century, he attended Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Returning to the U.S. he settled in Brooklyn, N.Y. near Prospect Park, the site of many of his paintings and sketches. He was for many years a member of the Salmagundi Club at Washington Square in New York City. Many of his works have been exhibited at the Salmagundi Club as well as the Bennington Museum, Vermont and the Brooklyn Museum in New York.His major works include oils and watercolors depicting landscape scenes. Much of his earlier works were in the area of book and magazine illustrations.Carle Michel Boog died in Brooklyn N.Y. at the age of 90 in 1968.
