Charles Allan Winter, American, (1869-1942). An illustrator and landscape and marine painter who used bright colors and impressionist style, Charles Winter studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy and in Paris at the Academie Julien with Bouguereau. Winter was much influenced by the Fauvist movement and was particularly taken with the works of Van Gogh. Through much study, Winter had come to believe that music and painting were related in a harmonious way. Winter gave lectures about his color theories, influencing The Eight, including John Sloan. It was at the suggestion of Charles Allan Winter that John Sloan first ventured to Gloucester, MA to paint during the summer of 1914. During the years 1914-1918, Charles Allan Winter, his wife Alice Beach Winter and Agnes Richmond, were the summer guests of John Sloan. Named the "Red Cottage Artists", these artists lived and painted together sharing a common color theory. As a result many of the works completed during this time were indistinguishable from artist to artist. This special period ended in 1919, when John Sloan departed with  Randall Davey  for Santa Fe. The Winters remained in Gloucester for many years teaching and working with other artists who came to the area. Charles Allan Winter exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Art Institute of Chicago. A number of his murals are displayed at City Hall, Gloucester.
