Clifford Ulp (American, 1885-1957)
Clifford McCormick Ulp was born August 23, 1885 in Olean, New York. Ulp attended the Mechanics Institute (now Rochester Institute of Technology), graduating in 1908 and then going on to teach as a professor there in 1913. He was made the director of the School of Applied Arts in 1921 and continued there until his retirement in 1952. Clifford Ulp was a teacher and mentor of Carl Peters and continued to show his numerous talents in illustration, composition, lettering, and perspective throughout his career. He died in Rochester, New York, on January 22, 1958.
Ulp is remembered primarily for his landscape portrayals. He is also known for his religious works, murals, illustrations, and printmaking. Two styles of painting that fascinated Ulp were that of fresco and pastel. He enjoyed doing outdoor sketching in all kinds of weather and would usually do an outdoor sketch each day which he would then have his family critique.
