About the Item

Fred Nagler was born in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, where he first studied wood carving. From 1914 to 1917, he studied at The Art Students League of New York, where his professors included Tom Fogerty, Frank Dumond, Frederick Bridgman, and Robert Henri. At the Art Students League he won the Bridgman Scholarship and Annual Portrait Prize, a competition juried by George Bellows and John Sloan. Subsequently, he became a member of the Art Students League Board of Control. In 1940, he became president of the Bronx Artists Guild. Nagler was offered many prestigious positions during his career, including three art department chairmanships: at the Connecticut College for Women, The State University of Iowa (upon the death of Grant Wood), and the Eastman School of Art. Fred Nagler has been called a painter’s painter which can be substantiated by the fact that he won four of the major awards given by artist juries during his time: The Payne Gold Medal and Purchase Prize at a Virginia Museum Biennial; the Clark Prize and Silver Medal at a Corcoran Biennial; the first Altman Figure Prize at a National Academy Annual; and a grant from the Academy of Arts and Letters.

By Edmund Daniel Kinzinger

Located in Dallas, TX

Edmund D. Kinzinger was the Chairman of the Art Department at Baylor University from 1935 to 1950. Previously, Kinzinger was the Director of the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in Munich. Kinzinger left Germany in 1933 because he did not agree with the Nazi government. Kinzinger’s early work in Germany was influenced by Theosophy: a philosophy based on mystical insight into the nature of God. This guided Kinzinger’s art away from representation and towards abstraction. Later, Kinzinger assimilated German Expressionism, French Cubism, and Italian Futurism with his own continuing sense of the mystery of life. While his work incorporated the formal qualities of cubism, there was always a mystical moodiness just below the surface. "From EDK: The Early Years 1913-1935" by Philip Van Keuren...
