Everett Longley Warner (July 16, 1877 – October 20, 1963) was an American Impressionist painter and printmaker, as well as a leading contributor to US Navy camouflage during both World Wars.

Early years

Warner was born in Vinton, Iowa, where his father was a lawyer. His mother descended from a line of influential missionaries (the Riggs family), who spent years with the Dakota Sioux Indians, translating and preserving their traditional language. Warner spent part of his childhood in Iowa and then moved to Washington, D.C., when his father was appointed Examiner for the Bureau of Pensions.

He attended classes at the Corcoran Museum and the Washington Art Students League while attending high school. He was employed as an art critic for many years following the (Washington) Evening Star. With life drawing master George Bridgman and illustrator Walter Clark, he moved to New York in 1900 and studied at the Art Students League. His artwork was soon accepted into some of the country's most coveted art competitions, at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the National Academy of Design.

Artistic career

Warner traveled to Europe in 1903, earning more money from his painting business, where he studied in Paris at the Académie Julian, while also visiting Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and other countries. He returned to the United States permanently in 1909 and became associated with Old Lyme Art Colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut, which (under the sponsorship of art patron Florence Griswold) had established a well-known center for American Impressionism. Childe Hassam, a close associate of Abbott H. Thayer, a painter who was widely known for his theories of natural camouflage, was one of the leading figures in the colony.

Warner earned a silver medal in the painting category and a bronze medal in printmaking at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. The allegorical sculptures of Iowa-born artist Sherry Edmundson Fry, who received a silver medal and then joined with New Hampshire painter Barry Faulkner (Thayer's cousin) to create an artists' camouflage corps, were prominently at that World's Fair. Ironically, an inevitable decline in the career prospects of all these young artists, many of whom were talented, was unleashed at the American public in 1913 at the renowned New York Armory Show. In the years that followed, Warner and the others continued to perform as artists, to exhibit, and ultimately win awards, but never reached the fame they might never have imagined.
