Additional Details

Carl Sprinchorn found success in the New York art scene after studying at the New York School of Art under Robert Henri. He first came to Maine in 1919 and found similarities between the North Woods region and his native Sweden. He lived in the area for two years and thereafter summered there in the late 1930's through 1952. His artwork of North-Central Maine depicts the working lumberjacks and woodsmen, their camps, and forests.
