Karl Brandner

Karl C. Brandner (1898–1961)[1] was an American landscape artist born in Oak Park, Illinois. Brandner trained as an artist at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Fine Art Academy, then worked as a photo engraver for the Chicago Tribune newspaper. While pursuing painting as a hobby, Brander became known as a regional artist in Illinois and Indiana.[2] His landscapes and cityscapes were exhibited during his lifetime at the Hoosier Art Salon,[2] the Chicago Gallery Association, and the Palette and Chisel Club.[3] Two of Brandner's paintings, "The Red Mill" and "Wooded Acres," as well as two etchings, "Winter" and "Brown Country Idyll," are in the permanent collection of the Illinois State Museum.[4]
