Gustave Wiegand
Lyme Art Colony

Weigand came to the U.S. from Germany at age 14. He lived in Brooklyn, New York and attended night classes at the Pratt Institute for several years. He returned to Germany to study with Prof. Bracht at the Royal Academy in Dresden. He returned to the U.S. to paint full-time in rural Staten Island and Sullivan County, New York.

In 1900 he spent the summer at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks (NY), a tradition he continued through 1918. He married in 1906 and lived in the Chelsea section of NYC. He exhibited regularly in Brooklyn and Manhattan. He was a member of the Salmagundi CLub, the American Watercolor Society, and Allied Artists of America.

He became interested in the Lyme art movement and spent the summer of 1907 at the Griswold house. He later bought a farmhouse at Lake Sunappe, N.H. where he lived for several years.
