Some of his better-known works include The Immigrants, The Strike, The Watchman, and Labor Union (later known as In Union There is Strength). His best-known woodcarvings come from his Spirits of the Forest series. Sofia was a Swedish-American weaver and textile artist who invented her own loom. The couple emigrated from Sweden separately and met in New York City in 1903. They spent most of their careers in Winnetka, Illinois.

CONTENT AND STRUCTURE
Administrative/Biographical History:
Charles Oscar Haag (born Carl Oscar) was a Swedish-American woodcarver and sculptor. Charles was internationally known, best known for his carvings that expressed the struggle of labor and immigration as well as his whimsical woodcarvings that paid homage to nature. Among his labor works are The Strike, The Watchman, and Labor Union (later known as In Union There is Strength). Among his works related to nature and fantasy are the Spirits of the Forest series. His immigration works include The Immigrants, a huddled group carrying their belongings.
Charles exhibited at the Art Institutes of Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. One of Haag's most famous pieces, Accord, was purchased in 1906 by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Despite being a prolific sculptor and receiving praise in the press, Charles received few commissions and little official recognition. He refused to take any work that he deemed beneath his talent or a payment below what he believed his work was worth. Thus, Charles is little known today outside of a few Swedish-American collections and individual collectors.
Charles was born in Norrköping, Sweden on December 16, 1867 to parents Carl Johann Wilhelm Haag and Anna Charlotta Persson. Charles started to work at the age of 12 as an apprentice potter. Later, he attended Slöjdföreningens skola (arts and crafts school) in Gothenburg, Sweden and pursued further studies and work in Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, and Italy.
Charles immigrated to the United States in the fall of 1903. He spent his first 6 years in New York City, Silvermine, Connecticut and other East Coast cities before moving to Winnetka, Illinois where he lived for many years. He married Sofia Olson in New York in 1903, after they knew each other for 3 months. Charles died in Winnetka, Illinois, on September 19, 1933.
(Olivia) Sofia Olofsdotter (later, Olson) was born on February 25, 1878 in Stafsinge, Hallands län, Sweden to Olof Åbo Johansson and Anna Johanna Olofsdotter. Sofia immigrated to the United States in 1896. Sofia was skilled in traditional handicrafts such as weaving and embroidery. She invented and copyrighted her own loom "The Haag Loom" in 1920. In 1917, two of Sofia's woven tapestries and twelve embroideries were included in Charles’ traveling exhibit, which circulated from the Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, New York, and the Milwaukee Art Institute. Sofia went back to school and received a degree in Naprapathy in 1924, a drugless healing through manipulation of the ligaments, and she graduated from the National College of Obstetrics and Midwifery in 1926. Sofia set up a practice, but also continued her work with textiles.
Sofia maintained Charles’ studio at 897 Cherry Street, Winnetka, Illinois after his sudden death in 1933. She produced weaving and other handicrafts that achieved wide popularity on the North Shore of Chicago. Sofia arranged exhibits at the Swedish American Historical Foundation in Philadelphia in 1946 and in Norrköping, Sweden in 1949 and at the artists annex in Phoenix 1955 to try to sell Charles’ pieces. She exhibited her work there as well. In 1947, Sofia took an apprenticeship at Taliesin headed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Sofia retired to Sweden in 1966 to be closer to relatives. When all efforts to sell Haag's sculptures failed, Sofia divided the estate between Augustana College and Northwestern University. Dr. Sofia Haag died on August 5, 1969 at age 91 in Falkenberg, Sweden near the farm where she was born.
