CAPTION: Ogden Pleissner Artist - OTHER INFO: Ogden Minton Pleissner (1905" 1983)Ogden Minton Pleissner was born on April 29, 1905 in Brooklyn, New York. His father was very interested in the arts, especially music, and his mother was an accomplished violinist who had studied in Germany. When he was eleven a friend gave him a paint box filled with a wide array of colors. Growing up, Pleissner spent several summers in Wyoming where he sketched from life and developed a life-long love of the outdoors, fishing, and the western landscape.He attended the Art Students League of New York from 1922 to 1926 with Frank Vincent Dumond and began teaching at the Pratt Institute soon after. Throughout the 1930s, Pleissner worked mainly in oils and became known for his Western landscapes and images of the Maritimes and New England.He was commissioned as a captain in the United States Air Force at the start of World War II and stationed in the Aleutian Islands as a war artist. The inclement, damp weather demanded that Pleissner work in watercolors because they dried faster than oil paints. But Pleissner recalled that even watercolors were difficult to use in the wet climate: , I would go out to do these watercolors and it was so damn wet nothing would dry... I used to put out a few big washed and them run into and of the huts where there was a fire and dry it and go out again." In 1942, Pleissner accepted a commission from the United States Army as a war correspondent on inactive duty employed by Life magazine. After the war, Pleissner continued to travel to Europe and Wyoming, painting city scenes, landscapes, and sporting subjects.Pleissner was also the director and trustee of the Tiffany Foundation (see The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation).He died in 1983 in London, England.(Wikipedia).
