American, 1837–1908
Samuel S. Carr (1837–1908) was an American pastoral and landscape painter originally from England, where he trained at the Royal School of Design in Chester. He relocated to the United States around 1862 and lived in Brooklyn from 1879 to 1907, developing a unique style characterized by the repetition, flipping, and rotation of shapes while maintaining a lifelike quality. Carr often signed his works as "S.S. Carr" and some of his paintings sold at auction for over US$70,000 in August 2000. He lived with his sister, Annie, and her husband, John Bond, and never married.
