A Vivid Study of a Pineapple by Carl William Broemel. Between 1935 and 1937 Broemel became Cleveland’s first supervisor of the WPA Federal Art Project’s District 4. One of his most noteworthy contributions was his use of a ‘guild system’ allowing all members of his unit to participate in a single studio regardless of formal training. Their artworks were produced in a cooperative manner. Broemel served as a regional art juror for the 1939 New York World’s Fair and opened a studio in New York the following year before moving to Sharon, Connecticut. There, he exhibited in such places as the Albany Institute of History and Art and also served as a staff artist for the U.S. Air Force. Alongside his artwork, Broemel also served as President of the Cleveland Society of Artists and the New York Artists Guild. He moved to Daytona Beach, Florida shortly before his death.
