INTERESTING NOTES

Descended from a family of jewelers and doctors in Bohemia, Ingerle initially sought to be violinist.[162]Ingerle early in his career became associated with John Hafen in Brown County, Indiana. His closet friend was the painter Carl Rudolph Krafft.

Eleanor Jewett commented on his works an Art Institute exhibition in 1927 “Rudolph Ingerle is one of Chicago's most brilliant landscape painters. His compositions are on a large scale and invariably are beautifully composed. His use of color, yellows and browns particularly, is thrilling. He paints mountains so real one almost feels their presence. He paints landscapes like poems. His sunshine and shadows are magically complete.”

Of modern art Ingerle commented, “Most of those futurists are following Cezanne, who could do great work in spite of the worst technical faults - and they copy only his faults! As for the movement as a whole, it is a clever scheme for separating men from their money.”[163]

In 1929 his Moonlace, earlier given to the Waters school in Chicago, was featured by Eleanor Jewett in her regular WGN radio show.[164]

[1]Aaron Galleries, Glenview, IL made available the Ingerle family scrapbook a copy of which is now in the IHAP Library. References are noted by “Ingerle Scrapbook.” For an overview of his career see: C. J. Bulliet, “Artists of Chicago Past and Present,” Chicago Daily News, 7/27/1935, Art, Antiques and The Artists section. C. J. Bulliet, “Art in Chicago,” Art Digest, Vol. 25, 2/15/1951, p.15. It appears he may have been born in a small town in Moravia which later became Czechoslovakia, and that Vienna might have been a convenient place for him to say he was born.

[2]August Petrtyl operated a company called the Publicity Art Shop located in the Harvester Building in Chicago. His letterhead did not show any partners however a letter to Frank Werner of the Chicago Commission for the Encouragement of Local Art on February 27, 1915, is signed by Petrtyl as well as Chicago artists Carl R. Krafft and Ingerle. When the autumn season came, Ingerle would usually abandon his advertising illustration work and begin painting his landscapes. Maude I. G. Oliver, “Posters and the Community,” The Poster, October 1926, p.24. See also letter to Ingerle from Justus Schlichting, 6/12/1942, Ingerle Scrapbook.

[4]The connection is not completely clear however several copyrights on such illustrations include all three parties. At the time Mrs. Woolfenden may have been operating as the successor to Arthur Studios in Detroit. One piece entitled Comrades of the Wild, was first issued in 1925 for a calendar by Thomas D. Murphy Co., Red Oak Iowa, per collector Rick Starets. A notation on the back of the illustration states: “The coloring was done by Mr. Rudolph Ingerle…” Ingerle’s work was also used in illustrations for the Brown & Bigelow Calendar company, who customized calendars for a wide variety of clients. “L. Goddard” was the pseudonym for a pair of enterprising commercial artists: L.G. Woolfenden, a successful Detroit area commercial photographer, and Ingerle.

[5]Photocopy of Groh Associates plaque, 1933, Ingerle Scrapbook, IHAP Library. The Groh Associates were thirteen artists commissioned by Westinghouse Corporation to depict in paintings an attempt to capture light and its phenomena. The works were exhibited at Marshall Field & Company Galleries in 1934. In 1935, and likely beyond, Westinghouse sponsored lighting dealer calendars that featured reproductions of one of Ingerle’s illustrations. Information taken from a Western Auto Parts calendar original.

[10]Ingerle appeared to never have actively taught art lessons. His painting The Last Ray, was used as an art educational tool for children in the Chicago Public Schools.
