Details:
Carl W. Peters (American, 1897-1980)
Carl Peters was an American artist who learned about sign painting, set design, illustration, and landscape painting while attending the Rochester Mechanics Institute (now the Rochester Institute of Technology). Most of his painting was done in the rural countryside around his hometown of Fairport, New York and around Cape Ann, and the town of Rockport, Massachusetts where he spent his summers painting the harbor and rocky seaside with bold contrasting colors. In the fall, winter, and spring Peters would paint the landscape around his childhood home. He was especially fond of painting the snow-covered rooftops and icy streams of the region in the winter months. Peters painted images based on the landscapes of Fairport and Rochester and insisted on sketching on the spot, even in severe weather.
