Description:
"I later came to know [Carter] personally while studying under him one summer at the then Cleveland School of Art in 1948. On one occasion we travelled together to the Toledo Museum of Art to examine the paintings of his which had long been in the museum collection. He was able to describe them to me in exacting detail before we ever arrived there. It became clear to me then and many times subsequently that Carter did not complete a painting and walk away from it, but rather the painting stayed with him, lived in his mind through a seemingly photographic memory." -Joseph McCullough (President, Cleveland Institute of Art), Clarence Holbrook Carter: Detwiller Artist/Lecturer, April 1980
