Comments: Carl Emil Zoir (1861 - 1936). Born in Gothenburg Sweden, Zoir studied at the technical school there before he immigrated to America in 1880. A pupil at the school of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, he left in 1890 to study in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts until 1894. He returned to America for a few years, then left to travel and paint in France, Italy and Germany, settling in Sweden in 1907.
He returned to Chicago in the early 1930's to teach at the Wilmette School of Modern Art in Chicago and to paint an altarpiece for Albany Park Lutheran Church in Chicago. He resettled in Gothenburg in 1907 but continued to travel. The artist died there in 1936.
