This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Charles Joseph Carlson was born to American parents in Gothenburg, Sweden, on October 20, 1860. He arrived in America with his parents in 1860, settling in San Francisco, California.
His drawing began at an early age. Studying under the aegis of Virgil Williams, he entered the School of Design at age fourteen. Having excelled at his studies, the schools committee appointed him as Professor Williams teaching assistant at age seventeen. He taught at the Sacramento School of Design from 1885 to 1886 before returning to San Francisco. It was at his #523 Pine Street studio that he devoted his energies with portraiture.
Carlsons work included still lifes and landscapes, as well as portraits. His exhibitions include the School of Design in 1876 (silver medal), 1877, and 1882 (gold medal); the California State Fair in 1886 (silver medal); the Mechanics Institute Fair in 1884 and 1890 (premiums); the San Francisco Art Association in 1889; the Mark Hopkins Institute in 1900; and the Bohemian Club in 1902. The California Historical Society and the Bohemian Club possess his works.
On August 25, 1929, Carlson died in San Francisco after being admitted to Laguna Honda Hospital.
