Karl Schmidt was a leading proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement. Traveling to England from his native city in Worcester, MA he likely came under the influence of the arts and crafts painter Frank Brangwyn; and later the teachings of Arthur Wesley Dow.
In 1915 he moved to Santa Barbara joining a group of painters in the mission-style studio of California artist, Alexander Harmer. His paintings were displayed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco (PPIE), 1915. He further exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Art Institute of Chicago, National Academy of Design, and the Cincinnati Museum of Art, among many other venues.
