C.K.
Chatterton (1880–1973) was an American artist whose oils, watercolors, and gouaches, painted in realist style, showed the houses and streets of villages, towns, and harbors of upstate New York and the Maine coast.
Critics said his work possessed directness and candor as well as an ability to capture the play and pattern of light.
One of them praised his "power to find in narrow streets with trolley cars and railway culverts something stimulating in design and warm with a sense of human living." His paintings were, another wrote, "smiling without falsification of sentimentality."Chatterton trained at the New York School of Art under Robert Henri, Walter Appleton Clark, and others.
Among his fellow students, Edward Hopper and Gifford Beal became studio mates and friends.
He was professor of art at Vassar College for many years.
There he taught live drawing along with the more usual techniques of landscape and portraiture in oil and watercolor.
