“Japanese Lanterns” (detail). 1895. Detail of the first image. Collection of the Tweed Museum University of Minnesota Duluth.
An American painter and illustrator, Luther Emerson Van Gorder was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A painter of genre scenes and landscapes, the first work shown may or may not have been inspired by John Singer Sargent’s 1885 “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose” as Japanese lanterns were very fashionable at that point in time, both in real life and art. All works in the public domain.
On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
