Biography: Carl Sublett studied Art History at the American Academy in Florence, Italy, after serving as a sergeant in World War II.

Sublett was a founding member of the art group, "The Knoxville Seven," a progressive group working from 1955-1965, which produced some of the first abstract expressionist art in Tennessee. In 1982 he retired from teaching, and, in 1984, he opened the Sublett Gallery in Knoxville.

His works are in the collections of the National Academy of Design, The Tennessee State Museum, and Cheekwood, Nashville. (Source: The Tennessee Arts Commission).
PROVENANCE: Collection of John H. and Carol R. Evans, Farragut, Tennessee.
