About Johann M. Culverhouse
Western artist Marjorie Reed is best known for her paintings Culverhouse was a native of Rotterdam, Holland who began working in America in 1849 and continued in this country until 1891, chiefly in New York. He must have had a large private patronage because he exhibited only sporadically at the American Art-Union, the national Academy of Design, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Most of his works are landscapes with genre elements with a distinctive European flavor. Culverhouse was also part of a small group of pre-Civil War winter scene painters that also included George Henry Durrie, Thomas Birch, and Regis Gignoux. |
