Carl Gutherz

Carl Gutherz (January 28, 1844 in Switzerland – February 7, 1907 in Washington, D.C.) was a painter, part of the Symbolist movement in the United States during the 19th century.

The son began his professional career by modeling clay in his father's studio.

At the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War, he went to Belgium, studying in Brussels and Antwerp under Stalleart and Robert.

He sent his “Ecce Homo” and his “Awakening of Spring” to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, receiving a medal and certificate for the latter work.

Here he became versed in the Symbolist school and studied with Gustave Boulanger and Joseph Lefebvre.
