ALBERT H. KREHBIEL, 1873-1945

Krehbiel had associations and exhibitions with many other artists of the Santa Fe Art Colony and the Taos Society of Artists such as Victor Higgins, Earnest Blumenschein, John Sloan, Gustave Baumann, Raymond Johnson, and Stuart Davis. In 1926, Krehbiel helped pioneer the Chicago Art Institute Summer School of Painting (later named Ox-Bow School) in Saugatuck, Michigan, where he spent most of the balance of his summers teaching and painting. In 1934, he opened his own summer school of art there called the AK Studio.
