Revealing F. Edwin Church, American Impressionist
50th Anniversary Retrospective
April 26 – August 24, 2025
F. Edwin Church (1876–1975) was an American painter best remembered for his portraits with Japanese influence. Church’s oeuvre also encompassed impressionist landscapes, undersea paintings, floral still life, and sculpture. Church’s Locust Valley house, designed in 1928 by Harrie T. Lindeberg, was paid in part by the sales of a portion of his print collection. It is with great satisfaction that the F. Edwin Church Catalogue Raisonné Project presents a window into Church’s life and art.
