Everett Warner
Everett Warner
Everett Longley Warner was a painter, teacher, lecturer and writer. Born in Vinton, IA, July 16th, 1877. His early studies include the Arts Students League in NYC and the Julian Academy in Paris. He lived and worked in New York City; Old Lyme, Connecticut; and Pittsburgh, where he taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, PA, from 1924-42.
The elements of the New York cityscape he once cited as "the most inspirational" were "the daily commercial activity, the smoke and steam, the softly colored eighteenth century buildings . . . and the modern buildings that thrust up behind the old streets." Warner captured the essence of these predominantly New York City scenes as one century yielded to another and the modern urban scene developed. Along with cityscape, he was known for landscape, mountains, villages, Amsterdam and Quebec scenes.
He used a palette and style strongly influenced by the Impressionists of Old Lyme, he contrasts nostalgia for the old with admiration for the new, avoiding any sense of endorsement of one over the other. Warner felt that the human element was important in art and often incorporated figurative subject matter in his work.
Warner held membership in many of the top art associations including, Associate of the National Academy of Design, 1913; Academician National Academy of Design; NY Watercolor Club; American Watercolor Society; life member of the National Arts Club; Washington Watercolor Club; Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts; Society of Washington Artists; Associated Artists of Pittsburgh; Salmagundi Club, 1909; American Art Association of Paris and others.
Warner also won numerous prizes during his exceptional career including, Corcoran first prize; Washington Watercolor Club prize, 1902; Silver Medal, Buenos Aires Expo., 1910; second Hallgarten prize, National Academy of Design, 1912; Lyme Art Association, 1924; National Academy of Design, 1937; World's Fair, NY, 1939; Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, 1940 and others.He has exhibited nationally and is included in numerous public and private Collections. He died in 1963 in Westmoreland, NH.
