Once in Washington, Rolle studied at the Corcoran School of Art under Messer, Brooke and Moser beginning in 1905. His specialties were landscapes and seascapes in oil and watercolor, but he also executed dryprints, woodblock prints, monotypes and etchings. Following the tradition of his day, Rolle was active in many art societies. In addition to helping found the Landscape Club of Washington in 1915, he served as its president for many years.

Schooner off the Atlantic Coast Watercolor on paper, signed lower left and dated “1896”
Sight Size:13" x 26" Lewis was born and died and Philadelphia where he studied with Paul Weber from about 1850-55. According to Peter Falk ("Who Was Who in American Art"), “he was one of the most popular landscape painters of Philadelphia during the late 19th century. His early works were chiefly scenes of the Lehigh, Susquehana, and Wissihickon Rivers of Pennsylvania, and were in great demand. Before 1860 he also exhibited landscapes of New York and New England and even some Cuban scenes. By the mid 1870’s he turned increasingly to shoreline views with yachting scenes, painting prolifically in watercolor from Cape May, NJ to Narragansett, RI. Wealthy and admired, he entertained in a grand style in his opulent Philadelphia home surrounded by an extensive collection of antique furniture, china and decorative arts.” Ernest Fredericks (American 1877-1958)
Pseudonym for Frederick Ernest Swedlun
Winter Landscape Oil-on-canvas, signed lower right
Painting Size: 21” x 24.75” Frederick Ernest Swedlun was born in McPherson, Kansas of Swedish parents. Wishing to escape farmlife, he moved to Chicago and began studies at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In an attempt to minimize the anti-immigrant prejudice against Swedes, he began using the pseudonym “Ernest Fredericks”. Following his studies at the Academy, Swedlun exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and in the All-Illinois art shows. He was also a member of the Chicago Society of Artists. In 1950, Swedlun and his family moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where he found endless inspiration in the beauty of the Ozarks. There, he began signing with his real name, Fred Swedlun. With his son, Glenn, he painted and taught art in the Ozarks. This winter landscape, since it is signed with “Ernest Fredericks,” probably predates 1950 when he began to change his signature. Swedlun’s works are held in the collections of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the State of Illinois permanent art collection, and the Eureka Springs Historical Museum.
