Charles Kaelin has been described as an artist whose “love of nature amounted to a passion.” He was one of the earliest American proponents of Divisionism, a Post-Impressionist, pointillist style of painting, first developed by Georges Seurat in France. Kaelin was a student of John Henry Twachtman before beginning studies at the Art Students League in New York in 1879. He was deeply influenced by his artist friends Childe Hassam, Frank Duveneck, and Theodore Wendel. Kaelin exhibited widely throughout his long career. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and many distinguished private collections.
