Daniel Garber born April 11, 1880 in North Manchester, Indiana. From an early age interested in art, preferring to paint than to go to church on Sundays. Natural talent for painting prompted his family to send him to the Academy of Fine Arts in Cincinnati, where Garber studied from 1897 to 1899. At the academy, he joined the circle of Frank Duveneck, American Impressionist, and loyal friends became his mentor Julian Alden Weir and John Twachtman, whose work had a great influence on his own style. Like many American artists working at the turn of the twentieth century, Garber went to Europe, having studied there for two years, he returned to the United States in 1907 and settled with his wife Mary in Pennsylvania.

He created his own studio in Lumberville, preserving the traditional style of the Impressionists, such as J. Alden Weir, developed his own style in a more inventive treatment of color and light. This effect has been described as an ornamental, however, his work is characterized by calm poetic aura.



Critic Homer St. Gaudens, whose views reflect widespread public opinion at the time, said that "Garber writes" sweet "picture, but the picture that is a pleasure to behold!" We can say that his paintings are peaceful and meditative mood.

Mat and son

"Mother and Son" written in 1933, was the largest painting of the artist. His son, John Franklin (John Franklin) Garber rarely portrayed in his works. In 1929, John left home for college than very saddened father. He began to stretch the canvas for this work in 1931. In this work, John, along with his mother, Mary, depicted with French doors open studio in Cuttalossa. They are engaged in a game of chess, a favorite game of the family. Although this scene is quiet and contemplative, family chess games always took place in a calm atmosphere, Garber was a competitive player, and was inclined, slamming the chessboard, throw it across the room in a moment of anger.
