William Jurian Kaula
American, 1871 - 1953
William Kaula was best known for his New England landscapes. He studied first at the Massachusetts Normal Art School and then at Cowles Art School in Boston and Academie Julian in Paris. He lived and worked in Fenway Studios from 1905-35. Kaula was a student of Edmund Tarbell, who remained a major influence on the artist throughout his life career. His work often includes cloud filled skies with broad New Hampshire hills. Kaula had his first one man show at the prestigious Copley Gallery in Boston. He went on to become the president of the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters, although he also worked in oils and pastels. Kaula died at the age of 82.

Celebrated for his Impressionist landscapes, William Kaula was one of the premier painters of the Boston School. Born in Boston, Kaula studied at the Academie Julian in Paris and trained under Edmund Tarbell, the noted landscapist, at the Boston Museum School. As his career evolved, Kaula's plein air landscapes grew increasingly expressionistic, and he is now considered Tarbell's greatest student. Kaula exhibited at the Paris Salon, the National Academy of Design, the Corcoran Gallery Biennial, and the Boston Art Club. The Copley Society held a Kaula retrospective before his death in 1953; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Georgia Museum of Art, and the Washington County Museum of Art currently feature his work.
