Comments: Son of landscape painter Walter Clark whom he accompanied on painting trips to Chadds Ford, Gloucester, and Ogunquit. While he began as a tonalist landscape painter, he turned toward Impressionism, working in oils, watercolors, and pastels. As a teenager, he and his father accompanied Twachtman, J.F. Murphy, and Potthast on painting excursions. In 1904, he spent a month in Giverny, then studied Barbizon works at the Louvre. He then traveled to London and Belgium, and made a walking tour of the Swiss, German and Italian Alps. He continued to Venice, Ferrara, Bologna, Florence, Naples, and Capri; thence to Spain studying at the Prado and in Toledo, In 1912, he was in the Grand Canyon, New Mexico, the Painted Desert, and northern Arizona; in 1913 he was painting in Yosemite. From 1922-32 he lived in Kent, CT; then moved to Albemarle County, VA, where he painted the Blue Ridge country. Steeped in Eastern philosophy, he made a trip to Tibet in 1937-38 which caused him to reflect mysticism and dreams in his paintings. In 1939 he re-established his studio in NYC until he moved back to Albemarle County, VA in 1959.
