Carl Sprinchorn’s Worlds: New York, Sweden, Maine: Carl Sprinchorn was always on the move. His travels took him to diverse locales across North American and Europe as he sought new experiences and new ways of artmaking. This lecture will look at how three of those “worlds”—New York, Sweden, Maine—shaped his art. Sprinchorn was not a mere tourist passing through these places but was grounded in their art and culture—in Robert Henri’s realism and the spectacle of the modern city; in Scandinavian painting, naturism, and mysticism; and in Maine and its regionalism.
