Paul Zimmerman, N.A. (1921-2007). Paul W. Zimmerman was an internationally known artist and professor emeritus of the Hartford Art School. Born April 29, 1921, in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Robert Frazee and Ethel Pearl (Cramer) Zimmerman, Zimmerman passed away December 15, 2007 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Always a great admirer of Cezanne, Zimmerman was particularly drawn to the French painter's innovations regarding space and the fracturing of the traditional picture plane.
In 1947, Henrik M. Mayer, Director of the Hartford Art School at the time, invited Zimmerman to join the faculty. What began as a two-year agreement became a 40-year career. He remained true to his personal artistic vision throughout his long distinguished career and continued to work in his studio, remain engaged in the artistic community and teach part-time at the West Hartford Art League, West Hartford, CT throughout his retirement.
A prolific landscape painter, Zimmerman's oils and watercolors are found in numerous museum, corporate and private collections, including the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts; the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; the Wadsworth Atheneum; The Slater Museum; the University of Notre Dame; Lehigh University; First New Haven National Bank and United Technologies Corporation.

Born in Toledo Ohio in 1921, he studied at the John Herron Art School and earned his BFA degree in 1946. His work has been represented by galleries in New York, Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, etc. He was an associate member of the National Academy of Design in 1959 and became a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1972.
