George Jensen
George Jensen (9 August 1878 – 4 October 1977), is an artist of Danish descent born in Port Clinton, Ohio. Jensen is best known for his Midwest and New England landscape and seascape oil paintings as well as for his artistic versatility producing numerous works from water colors to linoleum block. Jensen often traveled to Michigan (Saline, Marquette, Presque Isle), New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Massachusetts (Cape Cod, Provincetown) and compiled sketches which he would later transcribe to canvas.〔〔 The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is where he would paint seascapes of black rocks and waves that would “wash 15 feet high” off Lake Superior.〔〔
After graduating from high school in Port Clinton, Jensen attended the Ohio Business College in Sandusky, Ohio, and from there the Zanerian Art College in Columbus, Ohio.〔〔 Jensen studied under several of America’s finest artists including; John F. Carlson (Impressionist - Woodstock, NY), George Elmer Brown (Cape Cod, Massachusetts), Albert H. Krebrial (Chicago Institute of Art in Saugatuck, Michigan), and Carl Gaertner (Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH).〔〔 When Jensen was in his 80s he continued to paint and travel, taking road trips around the United States. Jensen was a self-proclaimed conservative artist whose collection includes no duplicates.〔
==Career==
Jensen's artwork has been exhibited in a number of large cities throughout the United States; most notably Toledo, Ohio where he was credited to have “been an important figure in the cultural life of the city”.〔〔 Jensen, best known for his oil paintings, began his art career in watercolor, linoleum block, as well as pen and ink.〔 In 1912, he became one of the first artists to host a solo-exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art one year after the building opened on Monroe St. in Toledo, Ohio.〔〔〔 Jensen participated in exhibitions in a number of museums including the Brooklyn Museum of Art (1932, 1936), Detroit Artist’s Exhibit (Detroit, Michigan), the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio), the Columbus Museum of Art (Columbus, Ohio) and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art (Fort Wayne, Indiana).〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paintings and Sculpture by the Society of Scandinavian American Artists )〕 Other US cities where George Jensen’s art has been exhibited include: Sylvania OH, Bowling Green OH, Philadelphia PA, New York NY, Cleveland OH, Minneapolis MN, and others.〔〔 In addition to painting and teaching, for 20 years Jensen worked commercially as an artist for Jennison-Wright, Willys-Overland, Conklin Pen Co., Medbury-Ward Co, Webb C. Ball Co, as well as many other national publications.〔〔〔〔〔 However, as the depression slowed commercial progress, Jensen kept busy by shifting focus to landscape and seascape art which he preferred. In 1954, he celebrated the 40th anniversary of his first "one-man art show" held at the Toledo Museum shortly after the building was constructed with an additional exhibit of 20 paintings held at the Toledo Museum of Art.〔 Jensen was a member of a number of prominent artist groups including the Scandinavian Art Society of New York, the Society of Independent Artists, the Toledo Artists Club (lifetime member). By 1962, he had contributed works to the ''Saturday Evening Post'', ''TIME'', the ''Ladies Home Journal'', and a host of other trade journals.〔〔〔 By 1963, the Toledo Area Artist group had sponsored 45 annual art exhibitions to nearly all of which Jensen contributed.
Jensen retired from commercial advertising in 1944 but continued to paint and teach art courses for many individuals in a number of northern Ohio cities until a year before his death at the age of 99. Jensen was recognized in the ''Who Was Who'' book of American Art in 1985 and 1989, as well as other peer-reviewed art publications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Jensen )〕
