Biography
Carr was born in 1854 in Sandwich, Illinois.[3] His first studio was located in Chicago. He moved to New York in the early 1880s, and then to Europe for a formal art education in 1884.[4] His works gained national recognition in 1894 when praised by the magazine The Quarterly Illustrator as a successor to the paintings of Eastman Johnson and Winslow Homer.[4]
His work is featured in the collection of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia,[5] as well as the Johnson Collection in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
