38585. Joseph Franklin Carpenter
MARRIAGE: PLACE Guadeloupe County Texas
Joseph Franklin Carpenter was known as Frank Carpenter. He excelled at personal relationships and
was considered delightful company. He had a great sense of humor and was charming in every way.Frank Carpenter went to prep school at Tabor Academy in Massachusetts. He would tell me about the
years of sailing on the ocean in the school’s training ships out of Boston. Later he went to Bowdoin and
majored in English literature. It was a boy's school then and he pledged Beta Theta Pi. Family stories
have it that it was part of Bowdoin's diving team and a runner-up in the Olympics.He married, first, Beatrice Senter. A lovely lady who objected to living in the Midwest and they divorced
shortly after marriage.He then married my Mother, Dorothy Bell Newton. I suspect they met at a Carpenter Paper function
because her father was an employee at that time.My father had a wanderlust which resulted in many moves while I was a child. First, Portland, Oregon;
then San Mateo, California, then back to Omaha and on to Oak Park, Illinois. Finally, in 1961, my then-
fiance,Dixon, Gil, Mother, two cats, and I drove a car and a truck to St. Petersburg, Florida to begin Rent-
All City. We rented anything including Mother's silver service set (causing a big blow-up as I remember).The business started to do well and was taking round the clock demands on our time.
I resigned and moved to St. Petersburg Savings and Loan where I enjoyed a50-hour work week and
free lunches catered by two of the best southern cooks I've ever met.In late 1961, my father's ulcers kicked into high gear and the pain he suffered was enough to convince
him to endure yet another resection. That was the way the medical profession treated the illness then
becausethey never understood that ulcers were caused by bacteria. Cutting away the stomach makes
no sense today but somehow it did then. He went into the hospital after Christmas and died on the
operating table.Death Certificate: January 5, 1962: West Suburban Hospital, Oak Park, Illinois: Shock and pulmonary
edema, left ventricle failure, due to myocardial infarction, pneumonia, left lung. Retired, United States
AirForce, physical disability (tuberculosis of pleura, chronic, serofibrinous, bilateral, effective June 4,
1945.Unlike other life traumas I felt I had sustained, this was the hardest to bear. Loosing a parent when you
are young fools you into thinking you can carry on. But at a young age you have a pitiful lack of wisdom
and can hardly know how final death is.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My mother was an accomplished musician playing the piano on tour andstudying in Paris. Her family appears in the 1930 Census of BexarCounty, San Antonio, Texas the family appears listing Delbert aged 42,Laura Bell aged 42, Dorothy Bell, aged 20 and Lydia Elizabeth Bell("mother in law")aged 79. Interestingly, Delbert lists his father'sbirthplace as New York (not Delaware). His mother's birthplace is listedas Pennsylvania.
Mother married my father later than was common in those days. She hadspent many years perfecting her art and touring. Also, I believe she hadother beaus--one of which may have been a chap named Porter who was theson of the local mortician.
Mother was short unlike her mother who was tall. In that way sheresembled the Taney line. She had a wry sense of humor and intenseloyalties. I often asked her for information about her family which shemade available but I didn't trust. I now realize she was certain aboutthe names she provided and my research has taken different paths. I'mnot sure it was a dream, but I believe she told me to search Pennsylvaniafor the Bennetts.
Mother studied her art in Paris then taught music most of her life. Shewas a very beautiful woman but suffered from a back ailment caused by acar crash in Monterrey, Mexico. Many in the vehicle died but shesurvived. Her spine was out of alignment all of her life.
In remembering her, I think of the times I was jealous that her pupilstook her from me. I also believe we lived a life that was either veryfrugal or we were just plain poor. We rented houses until I was in highschool and we bought the house on Elmwood Lane in Oak Park.
Mother spent her last years at Morninside Manor Nursing Home. Shedisliked it at the beginning because everyone was so old. Later, sheneeded every bit of help that was available to her there. She wasreligious, Episcopalian but went to Catholic schools in San Antonio. Herfaith was very rich and never let her down.

OBIT:
CARPENTER, GILBERT F. ''BERT''
Published: July 6, 2003
CARPENTER - Gilbert F. ''Bert'', artist and educator, died Friday, June6, 2003 in Greensboro, NC. Born July 14, 1920 in Billings, Montana, BertCarpenter was educated at Stanford University, Chouinard Art Instituteand Columbia University, where he taught in the Columbia Collegehumanities program in the 1950's. Carpenter was a founding member of theArt Barn School of Art (Utah) and the Honolulu Artist's League. He wasChairman of the Art Dept. of the University of Hawaii (Manoa) beforemoving to North Carolina to head the art department of UNCG (1964-1974),retiring as emeritus professor of art in 1989. He was director of theuniversity's Weatherspoon Art Gallery from 1974-1989. He exhibited in NewYork at Zabriskie, A.M. Sachs, and Grunebaum galleries and at the JoyTash Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ.

A retrospective exhibition of his work was held in 1999 at theWeatherspoon Art Gallery that traveled to St. John's Museum of Art, theEwing Gallery of Art and Architecture, and the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum ofArt. Carpenter's work is represented in the collections of the HonoluluAcademy of Art, the Herter Art Gallery, the Sheldon Memorial Art Galleryand Sculpture Garden, the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art, the Iredell ArtsCouncil, Leon's Inc., and Anderson-Hoagland Co. among others. BertCarpenter is survived by his two brothers, Harry Carpenter of Peoria, AZand Ted M. Carpenter of Napa, CA; by his wife, Editha; four children:Editha of Lyon, France; Matthew of Ashboro, NC; Franklin of Greensboro;and Naomi of Greensboro; and four grandchildren: Jonathan Carpenter,Jennifer Carpenter, Jeanne Le Floc'h, and Sydney Bennett.Bert Carpenter's art is immersed in the realist tradition and embodiestwentieth-century American culture. Carpenter has always been "drawn tothe different ways things feel and hold their place in the moving air andchanging light." [1] A painting of a single rose is a microcosm mirroringthe complexities of the universe. A solitary Hooded figure evokesemotional and psychological mysteries of the "self," and a mythologicalScene conveys the eroticism and narcissism manifested by an indulgentmaterial culture.
The life of this American realist began in the remote western town ofBillings, Montana. Gilbert F. Carpenter was born in 1920. His parents,Elva and Harry Carpenter, had moved to Billings in 1916 to establish theNorthern Mountain State Division of the Carpenter Paper Company, afamily-owned business headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. One of fourchildren, Bert Carpenter liked to draw, and knew from an early age thathe wanted to be an artist. "I am certain that my first memory includesthe idea that I wanted to be an artist. For some peculiar reason, I don'thave the slightest idea why, when I was in grade lA, the first half ofthe first grade, I understood that when I got into grade lB, I would beallowed to draw a sailboat and a sailboat would be the last thing I wouldhave seen. I don't think there was a sailboat within 200 miles, but I wasgoing to draw a picture of one."
As there were no artists in his immediate family or hometown, and no artmuseums in the region, Carpenter's artistic motivations were a youthfulimagination and an insatiable curiosity. A continuing fascination withthe "inside-outside" relationship of reality is rooted in his childhoodexperiences. "We spent summer after summer totally alone as kids, runningaround the rimrocks making up our own lives. We had caves in the cliffswhere I would sit, staring out at the valley. Sometimes I would sit upthere half the afternoon trying to figure out how I knew I was there. Itseemed to be a very important question. I remember the very strongsensation that if I thought hard enough I could turn myself inside-out.My outside would be on the inside and that would be like going back intothe cave and coming out into the sun -- the sense that somehow there wasanother side to our being, our experience."
While in high school, Carpenter was introduced to an artist who hadrelocated to Billings. Leroy Greene was an accomplished watercolorist,was a member of New York's Salmagundi Club, and had studied on the eastcoast with artists educated in the Robert Henri tradition. Attracted tothe Montana landscape, Greene opened a studio in Billings and beganoffering evening classes in art. The young Carpenter was eager to studywith the only working artist residing within this vast, isolated regionof the United States. "There was a professional artist in town and in hisstudio he organized a small class that met every Tuesday and Fridaynight. It cost twenty dollars a session and the year was divided intofour sessions. I told my parents I wanted to go which meant they had todrive me downtown. It wasn't that easy every Tuesday and Friday night.They agreed to do it. Dad gave me the twenty dollars and told me I hadbetter be good at it if I wanted another twenty dollars." From theseclasses, Carpenter gained a solid technical foundation in art. Hisenthusiasm and talent led Greene to permit the young artist frequentaccess to his personal art library.
Also during these years, Carpenter accompanied his father and hisbrothers Harry Jr. and Ted, all avid outdoorsmen, on frequent hunting andfishing trips. Carpenter, however, preferred to carry art supplies andpaint the rugged Montana landscape. These outdoor excursions with hisfather continued throughout college and into adulthood. "When my dadwould go hunting, and he often did, I would take my watercolor box. Iwould follow him hunting or fishing, and when he got to a good place, Iwould sit down and paint. He didn't mind that. I can't remember the timewhen my idea of what I would like to do in an afternoon wasn't findingsome good place to sit down and do some painting and drawing. The family,whatever they did, they did, and I tagged along."
Continuing a family tradition, Carpenter entered Stanford University inthe Fall of 1938. Enrolled as an art major, he produced notablewatercolors depicting the landscape around Stanford. His primaryinvolvement, however, became the literary arts. He eventually worked onThe Carillon, Stanford's literary magazine. In order to pursue his artstudies in greater depth, Carpenter began his junior year in Los Angelesat The Chouinard Art Institute, a professional art school. There he metTom Craig, a nationally emerging painter, who helped to expandCarpenter's technique and compositional approaches to landscape subjects.Craig's commitment and dedication also deepened Carpenter's understandingof the requirements of an artist's career.
In the summer of 1940, Craig invited Carpenter to join him on across-country trip. During the next two months they lived out of Craig'sstation wagon while painting numerous watercolors of the countryside.Carpenter met other working artists who were friends of Craig, and wasfinally able to see the great art collections in major midwestern andeastern cities. In a letter to his parents, he stated, "I'm getting moreof an education in the museums than from a whole year of college."Although he saved only fifteen watercolors from the trip, it was theoverall summer experience that solidified his commitment to becoming anartist, and in particular, a painter. "Art was so much more powerful andvivid than I would have imagined. That trip made me aware of what anartist was and that I could be one. It left me in a position to face themajor problem for everybody at that time in painting, the conflictbetween modernism and traditionalism. A totally partisan division, youeither declared your allegiance to one or the other. Whatever you weredoing was art and whatever the other guy was doing was nonsense. I triedto untangle that knot and gain enough confidence in terms of what wasknown about art, and what should be understood as the basis of style. Howdo you make a choice among things or how do you find what you can doyourself? Before that, I didn't have the vaguest idea of what it meant tosay you were a painter."
Carpenter returned to Stanford in the fall of 1941 and in December ofthat year the United States entered World War II. Shortly thereafter,Carpenter withdrew from the university to join the war effort by workingin a Los Angeles aircraft assembly plant. In 1943, Carpenter was inductedinto the United States Army and was assigned to the Army Air ForceWeather Service. While stationed outside London at Bungay, he drew andpainted watercolors of the Norfolk countryside. "The weather service wasconsidered so critical that we were only allowed to work 36 hours a week,which meant that we worked three long shifts, then we took off forLondon. So I spent most of my extra time in London or out on a bicycledoing the watercolors of the Norfolk countryside. "
