AMERICAN INTERIOR OIL PAINTING BY LOUIS CHARLES VOGT

Louis Charles Vogt, American, 1864 to 1939, oil painting on canvas depicting an interior scene. Signed lower right. Framed. Provenance: Time and Again Auction Gallery, Hightstown, NJ, United States, September 17, 2010, lot 862. Louis Charles Vogt was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1864. A talented painter, Vogt employed a free style of brushstroke and often rendered forms with broad, sweeping strokes. His studies at the Cincinnati Art Academy with Frank Duveneck had a profound impact on his work. His subject matter and style were also reminiscent of the Ashcan School, a group of New York painters who rejected the fantasies of American Impressionism in favor of a more realistic chronicle of 20th century life. Vogt was an avid traveler and adventurer who savored life and appreciated each experience as it unfolded. He spent much of his life traveling about the U.S. as an illustrator for Harpers and Century magazines. One of a kind artwork.
