Karfiol,
Bernard , 1886–1952, American painter, b. Budapest of American
parents; educated in Brooklyn, N.Y. He studied at the National
Academy of Design in New York City and at Julian's in Paris. From
1908 to 1913 he taught and painted in New York. From 1917, Karfiol's
work was widely exhibited and received many awards. It is characterized
by tenderness, simplicity, sensuous form, and harmonious color.
Perhaps best known as a painter of nudes, Karfiol was also an
admirable landscape and portrait painter. Many of his scenes were
inspired by the landscape of Maine. Karfiol is represented in
many leading American galleries.
