Karl Anderson (Morning Sun, Ohio, 1874 - Westport, Connecticut, 1956) became a magazine illustrator and noted impressionist painter of genre, mythology, symbolism, and still life, much influenced by his exposure in Europe to painters in that style. He was the son of a harness maker and saddler and the brother of famous playwright, Sherwood Anderson. He first took art lessons from a local house painter in Clyde, Ohio, where the family moved in 1884. Seven years later he went to Cleveland.
