Abel Warshawsky
(William Karges Fine Art website):Abel Warshawsky was an American Impressionist who spent thirty successful years as an artist in France painting street scenes of Paris and remarkably insightful portraits. Though his busy cityscapes were often strongly influenced by French Impressionism, his portraits showed his skill at the realistic depiction of his subjects.

He was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, in 1883, and was raised in Cleveland where he was taught the fundamentals of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism by Frederick Carl Gottwald at the local Art Institute. He continued his studies in New York at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design, advancing his skills and gaining experience with occasional assistance and criticism from notable American artist Winslow Homer. Leaving for France in 1908, Warshawsky traveled back and forth to the United States and maintained a studio in France for three decades. His artworks were admired in France and he enjoyed tremendous success there. He was honored when he was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor and a member of the French Society of Intellectuals. His fascinating book, “The Memories of an American Impressionist”, detailing his life as an American expatriate in Paris, was published many years after his death. Finally returning permanently to the United States at the onset of World War II, Warshawsky settled in Monterey, California where he was inspired by the iconic scenery and also continued painting portraits. He was President of the Carmel Art Association at one point, and also taught art classes. He died in 1962, best remembered for his pure, shimmering sunlit Impressionist landscapes and urban scenes as well as his many superb portraits. His brother, Alexander, was also a well known painter.
