Everett Warner was a celebrated American Impressionist painter and printmaker, known for his landscapes of New York State as well as aerial views and nocturnes of New York City. Born in Vinton, Iowa in 1877. His parents were missionaries who developed a close association with the Sioux Indians of Dakota and worked to preserve their language, traditions and culture. He studied at the Corcoran Museum as well as the Arts Student League in both Washington DC and New York. In 1903 he traveled to Paris and furthered his training at the Academie Julien before touring Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. By 1909 he had returned to the United States and soon became associated with the Art colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. This became a center for American Impressionism with Frederick Childe Hassam one of its leading members. One of Warner’s first major opportunities to exhibit came in 1915 at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco, where he won medals for both painting and printmaking. During the First World War, Warner designed and developed a new camouflage pattern to protect battleships from attack by submarine, and the ‘Warner System’ was one of several adopted by the US navy. Following World War I, Warner taught at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and, in terms of his own work, executed a series of aerial views of major north eastern US cities. He again served as an advisor to the US Navy in World War II and, having retired from this and teaching duties, returned to painting as well becoming a respected art critic. By this time he was living in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, where he worked until his death in 1963. His family preserved his studio which tragically burned down in 1972 destroying numerous paintings, drawings and etchings.
