Elliott Daingerfield
Born in Harper's Ferry, Virginia, Elliott Daingerfield was a talented watercolorist who earned a strong reputation while very young. Daingerfield was most known for his colorful, mystical landscapes, (especially of the Grand Canyon) which he painted from memory. He later had a studio at Carmel, California and frequently traveled into Arizona from there to paint the Canyon. Raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Daingerfield left the South in 1880 at age 21 to seek art training in New York City. There he studied with George Inness Sr. and Walter Satterlee at the Art Students League. Daingerfield was soon exhibiting at the National Academy of Design and joined the prestigious Holbein Studios. By 1886, when he set up his first summer studio in the mountain community of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, he had established the two cities for his personal life and professional career. In 1897 and 1924, he was in Europe and became much influenced by the Barbizon School of Painting. After much ill health, he moved his studio from Blowing Rock to Gainsborough, North Carolina where he died in 1932. Daingerfield is held by numerous museums including The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The High Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Saint Louis Art Museum, Gibbes Museum of Art, and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
