American Impressionist artist.
Alfred Juergens was born in Chicago, the son of a decorative painter. He studied art at the Academy of Design in Chicago and continued his training in Munich and Paris. By the turn of the century, Juergens had established his studio in Oak Park, Illinois, and regularly exhibited his still lifes and landscapes at The Art Institute of Chicago. He was one of the first local artists to receive a one-man show at the Art Institute. His work is in numerous public collections in Chicago, including the Cliff Dwellers Club, Union League Club and the Womens City Club. Juergens executed several illustrative works in an Art Nouveau style, similar to Maxfield Parrish, around the turn of the 20th century.
The Illinois Historical Art Project recently listed Juergens as one of the 40 greatest artists of all time from Illinois.
In 2007, more than 70 of Juergens' paintings were discovered in a private home in Illinois belonging to a friend and neighbor of Juergens. Those paintings are currently being inventoried and prepared for display.
