 Jean Paul Selinger (1850-1909) and Emily Selinger (1848-1927), husband and wife, had
summer art studios at the Glen House and the Crawford House. Born in Boston, Jean
Paul studied at the Lowell Institute and in 1875 he went to Germany to study at the Munich
Academy with Wilhelm Leibl. Upon returning, he opened an art studio in Providence,
Rhode Island, and married Emily McGary, also an artist. The Selingers had a studio
in Boston and a summer art studio at the Glen House, Pinkham Notch in the 1880s. In
1894 the Selingers moved into the former studio of Frank H. Shapleigh at the Crawford
House. In August 1894 the Selingers accepted an invitation to serve on the board of
judges for a North Conway Coaching Parade Committee. Jean Paul painted numerous
portraits, still-life paintings, and White Mountain landscapes. Emily painted both
watercolors and oils of local flora.
Jean Paul was a member of the Boston Art Club. He exhibited at the National
Academy of Design in 1880 and the Paint and Clay Club in Boston in 1889.
