| | Wendt, William | (German/American, 1865-1946) |
|
| | A landscape artist who emigrated from Germany to the United States via Chicago in 1880, Wendt was an apprentice at a Chicago cabinet maker’s shop before turning to painting. Wendt became associated with the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony through his wife Julia Bracken, a sculptor who had assisted an artist working on a project for the 1893 World’s Fair. Wendt had a one-man show at the Art Institute and taught there as well. His work is held by museums in Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Valparaiso University. A series of his California landscapes were recently shown at the Laguna Art Museum. | | Works Cited: | | Madden, Betty; Larry Emmons (Foreward).
