1890 Louis Michel Elshemus Woodland Stream California Plein Air WC Painting
Louis Michel Eilshemius (New York/ California/ New Jersey 1864-1941) was born near Newark, New Jersey, Louis Eilshemius was an eccentric artist with a vision of his own that conformed to no school or tradition of painting. He referred to himself as the "Grand Parnassian and Transcendental Eagle of the Arts" (Falk). He lived in Europe from 1873 to 1881, attended Cornell University and the Art Students League in New York, and from 1886 to 1887, the Academie Julian in Paris. In 1888, he settled permanently in New York City but traveled to Europe and North Africa. In 1894, he went to California and returned through Arizona, painting in Yuma, something he returned to do in 1901, likely his last Arizona visit.
