Artist Biography
Jules Bernard Dahlager (1884 - 1952) was active/lived in Alaska. He is known for Landscape and coastal view painting, cartoon.
A printer with the "Cordova Times" in Alaska, Jules Dahlager was encouraged to paint by Eustance Ziegler and Sydney Laurence, who also lived and worked in Cordova. Dahlager sold a picture to Herbert Hoover when the then Secretary of Commerce visited Alaska with President Harding's party in 1923.
One of Alaska's most beloved artists, Jules Dahlager is often associated with fellow painters Sydney Laurence, Eustace Ziegler, and Ted Lambert as part of the "Alaska Four."
Born in Brookings, Dakota Territory, Dahlager worked as a cartoonist and newspaperman in Washington state before moving with his wife to Cordova, Alaska in 1921 to work for the "Cordova Daily Times." He began to paint and soon developed his trademark style of palette knife work on small canvases. Using a wide array of different sized and shaped palette knives, Dahlager was able to achieve a broad variety of landscape, marine, and atmospheric effects while retaining a lively painterly surface in his works.
