Carl Holty was born in Freiburg Germany. He is an abstract painter known for his investigation of color, shape, and form. He was enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago after a brief experiment with medicine, and later studied at the Parsons School of Design, NY. He lived in Munich and Switzerland, and later moved to Paris after the death of his wife in 1930. He returned to the US and taught at Brooklyn College, and later was a visiting professor at the Art Students League of New York and Washington University in St. Louis, MO. His works have associated with Cubism and Neo-Plasticism, and have been compared to Pablo Picasso's Synthetic Cubism period.
