Hello can anyone tell me about the artist Carl Zeller?

Hi Nikki,
I own a Carl Zeller painting and I have an original pamphlet that came with the painting and here is what it said about the artist.

Carl Zeller was received in Colorado and received his formal training at The Denver Art Institute. His early tears as an artist were spent traveling throughout the United States. At the Chicago World's Fair, he won the title of The World's Fastest Artist. Hw was one of three artists selected to renovate the paintings fo Charles Russell in Montana which had been damaged by a severe earthquake. During the forties, he began performing in theatres with various screen actors on their personal appearance tours. He also demonstrated for the Armed Forces, hospitals, schools and the U.S.O. Mr. Zeller has had many one man shows and has received over one hundred awards. His paintings are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada and nine European countries.
At the time the pamphlet was printed it said he resided in La Mirada, CA and devoted his time to teaching, painting and demonstrating.

The address of the studio was:

Carl Zeller's Studio
15573 Ashgrove Drive
La Mirada, CA 90638

I hope this helps!

What would you like to know about my grandfather?

Hello,
I believe your grandfather was a friend of the family and painted murals reminiscent of Switzerland mountains for my grandmother. I have a painting that has been passed down as well. I was told my twin brother was named after him. Would love to connect and ask a few questions. Thank you, Carolyn

I met Carl in 1954 and we were the best of friends until his passing. When his wife Ada passed away I received a call from him early in the morning. I went to see him and went to help me through his period of grief. I was the only one he called.

I have about 50 of Carl's paintings, and decades of his unwritten history and stories. They are all in my memory. Is there anything specific that you would like to know? In addition to my recollections, I have many photographs of Carl. In fact, he painted a very large wall mural on my backyard fence.

To bzeller, do you live in Colorado? I drove through Greeley, CO a few years ago to visit his museum there, but it was long gone. I then called all of the Zellers in the phone directory, but didn't get much information. Some said they were distant relatives, but had no further information.

Thanks, Jordean Listoe in California
