About the Artist: Biography from AskART:
The following is from Peter Kostoulakos,
AOA, NEAA: Fine Art Consultant,
www.pkart.com
Louis Kinney Harlow, painter
and etcher,
known for New England landscapes,
fishermen,
farms, boats, and coastal scenes
was born
on March 28, 1850 in Wareham,
MA and died
in 1913. After attending school
at Phillips
Academy in Andover, MA, Harlow
went into
business and married Julia Coombs.
They started
their family and eventually had
three children.
Mantle Fielding's Dictionary
of American
Painters, Sculptors & Engravers
lists
him as a watercolor artist and
etcher, but
his auction records also show
a list of oils,
pastels, gouache, and mixed media.
Although
not listed as an illustrator,
Harlow did
brightly colored paintings that
were highly
desired by publishers of fine
art books.
Prang & Company and C. Klacker
&
Company reproduced his watercolors.
Harlow started his career as
a professional
artist in 1880 and exhibited
with the Boston
Art Club in 1883, 1885, 1887,
and 1894. During
the early 1880s he was teaching
in Detroit
but moved back to Boston in the
mid-1880s.
In 1885 Harlow's address is listed
as 196
Central Street, Somerville, MA;
in 1887,
6 Beacon Street, Boston, MA;
and in 1894,
Waban, MA. Sometime before the
1890s, he
went to England, Paris, and Holland
to study
the work of the masters.
Harlow's work is represented
in the collections
of the Strong Museum in Rochester,
NY and
the Whyte Museum of the Canadian
Rockies
in Banff, Alberta.
