American, 1867–1944
Walter Elmer Schofield was an American painter known for his landscapes and seascapes, particularly in the Impressionist style. He was born on September 16, 1867, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and died on March 9, 1944, in the same city. Schofield studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later in Europe, where he was influenced by the works of the Impressionists. He became a member of the Philadelphia Ten, a group of female artists, and exhibited widely throughout the United States. His major works include 'The Blue Sea' and 'Autumn in the Adirondacks,' which showcase his ability to capture light and color in natural settings. Schofield's significance lies in his contribution to American Impressionism and his role in promoting the appreciation of landscape painting in the early 20th century.
