Condar Press

Modernist landscape and figure artist, he deployed free perspective and radical distorted angles. Raised in Wisconsin by Norwegian parents, Ellertson studied at Pratt Institute and worked in Manhattan, before settling in the Tryon colony just after World War I. His Art Moderne home and studio, “El Taarn” built in 1923, was featured nationally as a remarkable example of his innovative design, where he hosted the DuBose Heywards and the George Gershwins during their project to stage Porgy and Bess in New York.

Mountains Near Tryon, North Carolina is a fine art print, on heavy stock, specially produced by Condar press to fit vertically into a stock 8 inch by 10 inch frame. Needs no mat, to enhance your home or gift as a special souvenir of the North Carolina mountains in spring time. The original painting was exhibited at the landmark show of Ellertson’s work in 2000 at Tryon Fine Arts Center.
