William Robert Shulgold (1897-1989)
He was born in Russia in 1897. The family emigrated to Pittsburgh the following year. As a youth he worked for a watch maker and then in a bottling plant, but his first love was art. He matriculated to Carnegie technical Institute (predecessor to Carnegie Mellon) where he studied art under Professor Arthur Watson Sparks, head of Carnegie's art department and considered "probably Pittsburgh's leading impressionist artist", and under Assistant Professor George W. Sotter. Upon graduation he specialized in portraiture at the National Academy of Art under William Auerbach-Levy, and at the Art Students League. He then studied in Paris and Florence. Upon returning home he studied for some time under Charles Webster Hawthorne in Provincetown, Mass.
He then became an art professor at Carnegie. He had become an etcher of landscapes and a portrait painter in oils. But after he retired about 1962, he became well known as a portrait painter of Hollywood celebrities.
His long history of exhibitions includes Pennsylvania Academy 1929-1941, Art Institute of Chicago 1931, Los Angeles County Museum of 1951,Corcoran Gallery 1926-1957, New York 1957, Carnegie International 1931-1960, and the National Gallery, Toronto.
Shulgold died at the age of 92 in 1989 in Los Angeles.
Written and submitted by Samuel M. Robbins whose information comes from numerous sources, but especially the Kevin Daniels collection.
