Pasadena, Baxter Gallery, California Institute of Technology, Lawton S. Parker Retrospect Bicentennial Presentation, April 1976, no. 12.
Lawton Silas Parker was born in Fairfield, Michigan in 1868. His art training began at the Art Institute of Chicago, but by the age of twenty he had moved on to Paris and the Academie Julian in October of 1888.
Returning to the States in December of 1891, he accepted a position at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, now part of Washington University. 1893 would find him in New York at the Metropolitan Museum art school, and later, entering the Art Students League.
Parker’s winning of 1896’s John Armstrong Chandler multi-year European scholarship landed him back in Paris and further study in mural painting with Besnard and finally in 1897, to the Ecole des Beaux Arts where he studied under Jean Leon Gerome and later, James Whistler.
In 1902 Parker joined a group of American artists in Giverny, France, eager to bask in the glow of neighbor Claude Monet. They became known as the Luminists. He is said to have begun La Paresse when confined indoors by a Giverny rainstorm.
La Paresse would win him a gold medal from the Société des Artistes Français in 1913, the highest award available to a foreigner by the annual Paris Salon. Despite offers, he refused to sell La Paresse. "English Girl" had earlier won him a medal at the Munich International in 1905.
Through the years he proved to be not only one of America’s highest profile painters, but an able art school administrator and a skilled businessman. His stock market prowess bought him a fine home called Chateau d'Andecy on six acres in Plailly, 20 miles northeast of Paris. In 1927, just shy of 60, he married Beatrice Snow.
During World War II, Parker was held in Paris for two years by the Nazi regime until he, wearing peasant disguise, escaped into unoccupied territory. During this time, his home in Plailly was destroyed along with many of his paintings. He spent his final years in Pasadena, California.
After his death, Bea moved to New York with their son Larry and placed the balance of Parker’s work in storage. When she died in 1972 the birth of Larry’s second child was so fraught with complication that years of medical bills resulted. There was no money to rescue Parker’s pieces, and in 1974 the Pasadena storage company liquidated the entire collection.
A collector and his wife searched for the paintings after their dispersal and were able to bring together enough works to exhibit at the Baxter Art Gallery of the California Institute of Technology in April, 1976. Some of his most famous works were then sold to dealers and collectors throughout the country.
