    Albert Kapp New Jersey, New York, (1892-1969) Lobster Man oil on board Signed lower left, and titled verso. Biography from the Archives of askART: Albert Kapp was a bit of a Renaissance man from the New York, New Jersey area. He was known to have fallen in love with painting in the 1930's and continued to paint, mainly in oils and gouaches for three decades. In the meantime, he had a scientific and design background having studied mechanical engineering at Brooklyn Polytech and at the Stevens Institute of Technology where he was later named a distinguished graduate. He became the President of the New York Furniture Exchange and was in charge of style and design at the Albert Knapp & Co. Moreover, he received a law degree from the New Jersey Law School, later part of Rutgers. His artistic training was primarily via the Arts Student League in N.Y. and privately with noted New York and Provincetown artist, Sol Wilson. He also took adult education classes in South Orange N.J. near his home. Kapp's wife, Paula was also a significant artist who graduated from Montclair State University and also studied with Sol Wilson and at the Art Students League. A respected artist in her own right, she has artwork in the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art. Likely through their study with Sol Wilson, the couple developed an association with the Provincetown art colony, and exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association Museum in the mid 1950's. Albert's mature style was very reminiscent of the expressionistic style developed by Sol Wilson. Many of his most noted pieces were also shore scenes and dynamic oils of Cape Cod fisherman at work. Artwork of Albert Kapp was widely exhibited at: Essex County Watercolor Society New Jersey Watercolor Society Trenton Art Museum Montclair Art Museum Newark Art Museum Jersey City Art Museum Audubon Artists Provincetown Art Association Hunterdon County Art Association Silvermine Guild of Artists in New Canaan, CT Seton Hall College; Tinton Falls, NJ Provincetown Art Association & Museum Madison Square Garden Painters and Sculptors of N.J Holdings: Norfolk Art Museum; Mansfield State Museum. Awards : First Prize in Casein at Seton Hall Univeristy Silvermine Guild Tinton Falls Gallery. Memberships: Associated Artists of N.J.,N.Y. Chapter of Artists Equity Silvermine Guild of Artists.
