Charles Francis Browne (American,1859-1920)

Clearing Fog

Signed and dated: 1915

Ptg: 20"x 28"
New Frame: 28"x 34"

Born in Natick, Massachusetts, Charles Francis Browne was primarily active in Illinois as a landscape painter and teacher, and was one of the original members of the Eagle's Nest Art Colony in Oregon, Illinois. He was married to the sister of sculptor Lorado Taft.

Browne played an active role in California in 1915 when he was the superintendent of the United States section of the Panama Pacific Exposition where he won an award for painting.

He had traveled West previous to that time when, in the summer of 1895, he and sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil and writer Hamlin Garland took a tour of Indian reservation in Arizona and New Mexico.

Their stops included the Navajo Reservation, the Hopis at Walpi and Zuni villages, and this trip provided Browne with much material for subsequent paintings.

In 1910, Browne was Assistant Art Commissioner in South America to Buenos Aires and Santiago.

He received his art training at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston from 1882-84 and from Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In Paris, from 1887-90, he studied with Jean Leon Gerome at the Academie Julian.

He became an instructor at the Art Institute of Chicago and shared a studio with George Schreiber. He was founder and editor of "Brush and Pencil" Club, president of the Chicago Society of Artists, and a member and director of the Western Society of Artists. At the Eagle's Nest Art Colony in Oregon, Illinois in the summer of 1919, he was stricken with paralysis. He died the following March at his mother's home in Waltham, Massachusetts.

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. That was just one among a number of affiliations which also included the Sculptors and Gravers Society of Washington, the American Federation of Arts, and the Arts Club of Washington.
Rolle also exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the old National Gallery, the Maryland Institute and at the Greater Washington Independent Exhibition of 1935. He had a joint exhibition of prints with fellow artist Benson B. Moore at Venable's Gallery in 1924.
Rolle died in Washington, DC in 1941. Today, his work is represented at the Corcoran Gallery, the Historical Society of Washington, DC, and the Arts Club of Washington. A retrospective of his work was held at the Corcoran's 1982 "Washington on the Potomac" and at the National Museum of American Art's 1984 show "The Capitol Image."
