Louis Grell
Louis Frederick Grell (November 30, 1887 - November 21, 1960) was an American figure composition and portrait artist based in the Tree Studio resident artist colony in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He received his formal training in Europe from 1900 through 1915 and later became art professor at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1922, and at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1922 to 1934. Grell exhibited his works throughout Europe from 1905 to 1915, in San Francisco in 1907, and in Chicago at the Art Institute 25 times from 1917 to 1941.〔Louis Grell Foundation Collection, Ryerson and Burnham Archives, The Art Institute of Chicago.〕 He exhibited in New York in 1915 and 1916 and in Philadelphia and Washington DC. Primarily an allegorical and figurative composition muralist and portrait painter, his creative strokes adorn the ceilings and walls of numerous US National Historic Landmark buildings.
==Early life==
Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa to German emigrant meat market owners, and remained until the young age of 12, when in May 1900, his parents decided to send him to Hamburg, Germany to study art. Grell's first two years were spent refining his understanding of the German language and then it was off to a three-year study of the fundamentals of painting in Altona, Germany. Soon after, Grell was accepted to the prestigious School of Applied Arts in Hamburg, where young student Grell and Professor Switz earned commissions together to paint murals inside the famous Hamburg Boathouse (the great meeting place for all of Northern Germany), Hamburg Music Hall and elaborate paintings for the home of Germany's wealthiest man, "Budge, the Turpentine King." Grell's work at the Academy would earn him praise in 1906 at the Third German Arts & Crafts Exhibition in Dresden.
