Biography: A landscape painter who combined modernism and realism, Carl Sprinchorn was born in Sweden, and spent much of his life in New York state but is most associated with Maine. Between 1937 and 1952, he lived near Shin Pond in Maine's North Woods, painting the life of Maine lumberjacks, hunters, and river drivers. In the 1920s, he painted and worked as a lumberjack in Maine from a small cultural settlement of Swedish Americans in Monson. After Sprinchorn's death in Albany, New York, his reputation was that of a virtual unknown, helped by the fact that it took twenty years to settle his estate and his work was out of circulation until 1994. Then his niece consigned 60 pieces to the Tom Veilleux Gallery in Farmington, Maine, and quickly sold most of them.
