Oscar F. Bluemner

Oscar F. Bluemner was an artist active across the period spanning 1892 to 1919. His artistic output focused primarily on landscape and architectural drawing, capturing scenes observed during his extensive travels and residences both domestically and abroad.

Bluemner’s work is characterized by documentation of specific locations, ranging from European studies like Koln, Maria-Capitol, Canal, Venice, and Fiesole, Cloister of S. Domenico, to American urban and regional scenes represented by The Bronx and Riverhead, Long Island.
