Some Famous People called George Jensen
George Jensen
George Jensen (9 August 1878 – 4 October 1977), is an artist of Danish descent born in Port Clinton, Ohio. Jensen is best known for his Midwest and New England landscape and seascape oil paintings as well as for his artistic versatility producing numerous works from water colors to linoleum block. Jensen often traveled to Michigan (Saline, Marquette, Presque Isle), New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Massachusetts (Cape Cod, Provincetown) and compiled sketches which he would later transcribe to canvas. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is where he would paint seascapes of black rocks and waves that would "wash 15 feet high" off Lake Superior.
After graduating from high school in Port Clinton, Jensen attended the Ohio Business College in Sandusky, Ohio, and from there the Zanerian Art College in Columbus, Ohio. Jensen studied under several of America’s finest artists including; John F. Carlson (Impressionist - Woodstock, NY), George Elmer Brown (Cape Cod, Massachusetts), Albert H. Krebrial (Chicago Institute of Art in Saugatuck, Michigan), and Carl Gaertner (Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH). When Jensen was in his 80s he continued to paint and travel, taking road trips around the United States. Jensen was a self-proclaimed conservative artist whose collection includes no duplicates.
