Description
A Winter Wedding Washington Square, 1897 by FERNAND LUNGREN
Fernand Lungren (1857-1932) was an American painter and illustrator mostly known for his paintings of American South Western landscapes and scenes (California, New Mexico, Arizona) as well as for New York and European city street scenes. He was famous for his vibrantly colored paintings of the Southern California desert, especially in the Death Valley and Mojave Desert area.
Illustrator in New York City
In 1877, now twenty years old, and upon completion of his studies, Fernand Lungren moved to New York City. There he rented a studio with the prominent painter and pastellist Robert Frederick Blum. In New York City, he found work as an illustrator for Scribner�s Monthly (renamed Century in 1881) during the period known as �the Golden Age of American illustration�; his first illustration appeared in 1879 and he continued to contribute to the magazine until 1903.
He was also an illustrator for the children�s magazine Saint Nicholas from 1879 to 1904 and later for Harper�s Bazaar, McClure�s and The Outlook. For all these periodicals he produced landscapes, portraits and social scenes to illustrate articles and stories, being noted for his New York street scenes.
In 1878, he helped found The Tile Club, an association of young artists who gathered for the purpose of painting on decorative tiles. Among the members of the club were William Merritt Chase, J. Carroll Beckwith, John Twachtman, Winslow Homer, J. Alden Weir, and Robert Frederick Blum.
