Catalogue Note
Born in San Francisco, Edward Cucuel journeyed to Paris in 1892 to pursue his education at the Académies Julian and Colarossi before admission to the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts where he studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme. In 1907, he moved his studio to Munich where he joined the Scholle group of artists led by Leo Putz, whose influence on Cucuel’s Impressionist style is evident in the present work. The artist and his wife, Clara Lotte von Marcard, spent their summers in a villa on Lake Ammersee outside of Munich, where The Old Oak was probably painted.
