Dawson Dawson-Watson Catalogue Raisonné Project

“I consider Dawson Dawson-Watson to have been the Johnny Appleseed of Impressionism in the United States. His widespread influence within nearly every major region that I’ve explored as part of my research over the past fifty years continues to astound me.”
William Henry Gerdts Jr.

Mr. Watson’s abilities in the art field seem unlimited – he paints landscape, figure, portrait, and mural, using all mediums, and is a gifted engraver, etcher, wood carver, craftsman, designer, and theater director. His work has been exhibited in the Royal Academy, London; Paris Salon; St. Louis’ Worlds Fair, and various other important galleries.
