He settled in New York City afterward & became associated with the Ashcan School, & an Artist Colony in Woodstock. in 1927 he received a Guggenheim fellowship, allowing him to study in Europe. As an instructor, Carroll taught at both the Art Students' League in New York & the Detroit Institute of Arts, where he was the head of the painting department for about a decade. It was during his time in Detroit that he developed a new style for which he would become so well known for, romanticizing the female figure. Free Shipping in US. Please ask if you have questions!
