It seems clear that Carl Schmitt was supported by excellent classical base, that has not stopped to look with attention and interest to the new art movements that flourished in Europe in the early decades of the twentieth century. He experimented a lot, but basically it seems to me that he always remained true to his classical training. Among his various works presented here I really like Austin With Cello, Women In Irish Coat, St. Katherine, Lady Reding (Artist’s Wife), and Portrait Of Neighbor’s Daughter (beautiful drawing).

Thanks for this post. I am one of Carl Schmitt’s grandsons and the Executive Director of the Carl Schmitt Foundation, which was started to further his legacy as an artist, thinker, and man. Schmitt studied at that National Academy of Design and in Florence so he had a solid classical training. He referred to himself as an “experimenter” and his style went through several permutations, as you can see from the paintings you’ve posted. There’s much more about his life, work, and writings at our website http://www.carlschmitt.org Thanks again for your interest!

I have a piece of art work signed by a Carl Schmitt in 1989, but think maybe this is another Carl Schmitt as it is a clay piece that has been carved in a South West scene painted with light colors which does not seem to match what I am seeing above. Any suggestions?
