the impressionists were represented by edward dufner and karl anderson.in 1912, he painted at the grand canyon, in new mexico, the painted desert and northern arizona, and in 1913, he was in california, painting in yosemite.in the 1920s and 1930s, he again painted landscapes in the southwest including the arizona painted desert in 1926 and 1935. from 1922 to 1932, he lived primarily in kent, connecticut along the housatonic river with such notable impressionist painters as robert nesbet and g. glenn newell. in 1932, he moved to albemarle county virginia to escape from a bitter divorce with his first wife. this led to a dark time for clark who opted to travel abroad to find himself again rather than take the security of a teaching position, which was offered to him by the university of georgia.because of his interest in eastern philosophy he traveled in the late 1930s to india for two years where he painted the himalayas and also to tibet. he also painted in the deep south in charleston and savannah where he set up his easel on the waterfronts and among oak groves. in 1944 rejuvenated by a second marriage and election to the national academy of design, clark returned to the connecticut countryside to paint landscapes. in the late 1940s clark began to summer in virginia where he ultimately returned for good in 1959, settling with his new wife in the \"lovely hills\" near albemarle, virginia.he continued to paint almost to the end of his life, enjoying the solitude and peace of the surrounding environment where he could relate to canvas the subtleties of nature as only he could. he was elected an associate member of the national academy of design in 1917 and full academician in 1944. clark was also president of the national academy from 1956-1959. he was a member/president of the american watercolor society*;
