BIOGRAPHY:
Clara Emma Langenbach noted impressionist painter, illustrator, designer, art lecturer, and teacher is primarily known for her paintings in oil, tempera and watercolors of marine scenes, landscapes, coastal views, harbor scenes, and miniature paintings.Clara was born January 28, 1871 in Sebringville, Ontario, a small village just northwest of Stratford.In 1875, the family immigrated to the United States and settled in Buffalo, NY. From an early age, Clara showed promise with her artistic talents and began drawing around the age of nine, much to the delight of her classmates who admired her drawings and cherished the ones Clara gave them.Her formal academic art studies and training included the Albright Art School in Buffalo, NY; Art Students' League, NYC under John Fabian Carlson, N.A. (Swedish-American, 1875-1947); Frank Swift Chase (American, 1886-1958) and Walter Goltz, N.A. (American, 1875-1956); as well as one year's art course at the Pratt Institute of Art, Brooklyn, NY.She also studied under Harry Leith-Ross; life and portrait painting with George Ernest Fosbery, R.C.A. (Canadian, 1874-1960); marine painting during the summers in Gloucester, MA with Frederick John Mulhaupt (American, 1871-1938); watercolors in New York with Anna S. Fisher, N.A. (American, 1873-1942); and also with William Merritt Chase (American, 1849-1916). She also spent several summers at the Art League in Woodstock (Catskills), NY, and also studied at some Cape Ann schools in Massachusetts.A lifelong career teaching art for the primary grades in the Buffalo public school system began with Buffalo School. Clara also taught at several other schools over the course of her 43 year-long career, retiring in 1936. The creative aspect of teaching immediately appealed to her, and she considered it a privilege and her responsibility to guide student's minds in a constructive way.After the United States entered WWI in 1917, the U.S. Department of the Treasury War Loan Organization, Savings Division, held a contest to raise funds for the war effort. Given Clara's unique experiences as a schoolteacher and artist, she wanted her voice to be heard. Many of her pupils, whose fathers were serving in the war, could not understand why their daddy was not at home, so Clara would often try to comfort the ones that were distraught. Having witnessed firsthand the impact of the war on her students, Clara illustrated her poster depicting a child whose father was absent. The child was shown wringing his hands and holding back tears, with the header and words that read, "WAR SAVINGS STAMPS: My daddy's a soldier, won't you help bring him back?"Her poster was accepted by the National War Savings Stamp Committee from several hundred entries and was patriotically colored red, white and blue, size 22" x 14". It was also placed on exhibition in the New York City Public Library, NYC. Five thousand copies of the poster were printed and made available for distribution in Western New York and in other cities across the nation. Additional text beneath the poster's title included, 'Contributed to W.S.S. Committee Retail Merchants Association of Buffalo', and it was printed by Matthews-Northrup Works Buffalo, Cleveland and New York.Clara was a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists (BSA), and had also been on their board of directors. Other memberships included: Sanity in Art (was secretary of the Western New York branch from 1939-43); The Rationalists of Buffalo/Rochester and was elected secretary (later known as the Genesee Group, with name variations to include Genesee Artists Group of Rochester, or just Genesee Group of Rochester) of which Clara was a member as well; Saturday Sketch Club; North Shore Arts Association, Gloucester, MA; National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) Brush Division (Western New York Branch; and was also past Art Chairman and secretary), Society of Independent Artists, NYC; Allied Artists of America; Boston Art Club (Awarded full membership), Boston, MA; Philadelphia Art Alliance; Providence Art Club, Providence, RI; Town Club (Women's group formed in 1926, Buffalo, NY and was their former art director); American Professional League, Buffalo Women Teachers' Association; National Educational Association and the Zonta Club of Buffalo.She was once the former head of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, and she also frequently gave lectures on art for the Genesee Group in Rochester, NY. Clara exhibited actively and widely throughout her career in and around Buffalo and Rochester, NY, as well as across the nation in numerous public and museum shows including the Albright Art Gallery (now the Albright-Knox Art Gallery); the Smithsonian Gallery in Washington, DC; Philadelphia Art Alliance; across New York State; Ohio; New England; Massachusetts; Rhode Island; Connecticut and Florida among others.From 1906-35, Clara exhibited annually with the Buffalo Society of Artists, Buffalo, NY. She also exhibited with the Society of Independent Artists (1918) and the Allied Artists of America (1925), both in NYC; as well as the Town Club, which was a women's group that formed in 1926, located at the former Spencer Kellogg House located at 805 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY. From 1928-46, she exhibited annually with the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW), Western New York Branch, winning 2nd prize Red Ribbon with Popularity Vote & Cash Prize in 1936; and the Effie Farnham Burns Founder's Medal in 1942.From 1928-45, summers were spent exhibiting annually with the North Shore Arts Association, Gloucester, MA, where she also maintained a studio at the Rocky Neck Art Colony. She also exhibited with the Boston Art Club (1934), Boston, MA, the Allied Artists of America (1935), and participated in several group shows with the Rationalists group of Buffalo and Rochester, NY artists between the years 1939-1945. The Rationalists dissolved and the Rochester branch turned into the Genesee Artists Group and Clara exhibited with them in late 1940's.Other exhibitions included; the "Conservative Painters Exhibition", group invitational art festival at the City Art Museum of St. Louis, St. Louis, MO (1943); and the Rundel Gallery of the Rochester Public Library, Rochester, NY.Around the Western New York area, she could often be seen walking with her painting box and sketchbook tucked under her arm. Her favorite subjects were landscapes and marine scenes, for which she received a great deal of attention from other artists and the press.Clara is listed in numerous art reference publications including: The Buffalo Artists' Register, Principal Women of America, Who was Who in American Art, 1564-1975 (from 1936-1999), Who's Who in the East (1942-1943), Who's Who in New York City and State (1952), The Encyclopedia of American Biography (1957), Who's Who of American Women: A Biographical Dictionary of Notable Living American Women (1958-59), Women Artists in American: Eighteenth Century to Present (1973), Dictionary of Women Artists: An International Dictionary of Women Artists Born Before 1900 (1985), Biographical Index of Artists in Canada (2003), Davenports Art Reference: The Gold Edition (2005), and The Artist's Bluebook: 34,000 North American Artists to March 2005.Her works can be found in many museums and galleries, as well as numerous public and private collections around the world.

Terms and Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Any of the following conditions of sale may be amended, waived, or modified in the sole discretion of Broward Auction Gallery. By placing a bid, whether present in the saleroom or by any other means, the buyer (bidder, purchaser) agrees to be bound by the following conditions of sale:

1) All property is sold in "as is" condition and all sales are final. Neither Broward Auction Gallery nor their consignor(s) makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the property or the correctness of the catalogue or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, age, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the property or otherwise. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the online catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein).
If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the online catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability. Moreover, the Auctioneer will not be held responsible for any variations in appearance of online photographs.
ANTIQUES: Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description.
Broward Auction Gallery shall not be responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of purchaser and no sale shall be cancelled or refunded for lack of purchaser's noncompliance with permitting and licensing issues.

2) Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within 14 days of the sale of any lot the purchaser of any painting gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within 7 days after such notice the purchaser returns to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when sold, and gives written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalogue or the Auctioneer's comments at the time of sale, the Auctioneer as agent for the Consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price.

3) The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid and shall advance the bid at his/her sole discretion.

Where the Consignor is indebted to the Company, the Company may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. No "buy" bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose.

5) Some lots offered for sale may be subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold.
