Lorenz E. Griffith was born in Indiana on September 11, 1889 and died in Orange County, Florida in June of 1968. He is listed in the 1930 census in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. His was a renter at that time, and his occupation is listed as a landscape artist. He signed his paintings L. Griffith . Most of his work was oil on canvas. Some paintings were oil on board. For anyone interested in doing more extensive research on Lorenz Griffith, I also have his death certificate. It is rumored, though not verified, that Lorenz was a student of T.C. Steele. His work is often confused with that of Louis Oscar Griffith, though Louis Oscar almost always signed his work L.O. Griffith. I'm always interested in any information about Lorenz Griffith. Please email me if you have any further information.

     Lorenz was known to draw landscapes from many states including Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Texas, and Louisiana. At one point he lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and later moved to Atlanta, Georgia and eventually to Raleigh, North Carolina.
