August F. Biehle, Jr. was a noted Cleveland painter. Biehle contributed paintings of both urban and rural Ohio to the American Scene movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Biehle rendered this vision of rural Ohio in a unique style. August Biehle, Jr., died on February 7, 1979. During a career that spanned nearly seventy years, he created a substantial body of work that is remarkable in its breadth and originality, but which resists conventional categorization. His paintings have previously appeared in numerous exhibitions, including shows at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Butler Museum of American Art in Youngstown, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
