About Artist Howard Fogg
In 1946, Fogg was fortunate to meet with Duncan Fraser, the president of American Locomotive Co. (ALCO) in New York. Impressed by Fogg’s work, Fraser hired the young artist. His work for ALCO brought Fogg into contact with Lucius Beebe who began commissioning and reproducing Fogg paintings in a railroad book. During the course of his long career as an artist, Howard Fogg completed more than 1,200 paintings, most in watercolor, although some 200 were in oil. As a young artist, he completed 45 paintings for ALCO in a single year. As a freelance painter, he often needed about two weeks to complete one work, while late in his career each painting took about six weeks to complete.
