"Sunset Pt. Lobos, CA" Coastal Landscape in Oil on Linen

2006

About the Item

"Sunset Pt. Lobos, CA" Coastal Landscape in Oil on Linen Oil painting of a coastal landscape by Max Flandorfer (American, b. 1962). Large trees along a path are at the edge of a cliff overlooking the water. The cliff is covered in green grass. Below, there is a dark blue ocean with white, crashing waves and a few rocks just off shore. At the horizon, mountains can be seen on the far shore. The sky above is clear and blue. Signed by the artist in paint in the lower right corner. Titled, signed, and dated "Sunset Pt. Lobos, CA Max Flandorfer 2006" on verso. Presented in a gilded wood frame. Frame size: 13.5"H x 16.5"W Canvas size: 9"H x 12"W Primarily a plein air painter, Max is an avid outdoorsman and is always seeking to capture the spiritual and humble quality of nature. His work evokes a restful, contemplative stillness that he seeks, both in life and his art. Growing up in Miami, he spent most weekends and summers outdoors in the Everglades, or on the water soaking up the rich color, and beauty of the tropical landscape. Flandorfer lived in California for over 20 years, and currently resides in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Mostly self-taught, Max was forever drawing and sketching as a kid, but the beautiful landscape, and rich artistic heritage of the Monterey peninsula's artist colony was the deciding influence on his later works. An illustration instructor, Jane Miller of Monterey Peninsula College encouraged him to study early California greats such as Granville Redmond, and Guiseppe Cadennaso whereby they helped to influence his early pallete and style. Although his current work is uniquely his own, he owes a debt to the early pioneers of California impressionism. With so much of that landscape quickly disappearing, he tries to capture the spiritual beauty and glimpse of paradise we all seek in our lives. Exhibitions: Student /faculty show- Monterey Peninsula College Ohr O'Keeffe Museum of Art - Juried Gulf States Competition 2006. He is a member of the California Art Club (Painting patron)

  • High Sierras Log Cabin Lodge with Poppies Original Painting by J. Bond Francisco
    Located in Soquel, CA
    High Sierras Log Cabin Lodge Original Oil Painting by J. Bond Francisco Early 1900s era impasto painting of the High Sierras and a Log Cabin Lodge by California artist John Bond Francisco (American, 1863 - 1931). Well painted landscape of early 20th century California High Sierras will lush green grass and California Poppies. Signed lower right "J. bond Francisco." Presented in a newer, custom, giltwood frame. Image, 12"H x 16"W Frame 23.5"H 19.5"W x 1.25"D John Bond Francisco was born in Cincinnati, OH on Dec. 14, 1863. From an early age Francisco was drawn to both music and art. He studied the violin with Hermann Eckhardt and painting at the Cincinnati Art Academy for several years. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1887 and was so taken with the beauty of the place, he opted to make it his home. He soon continued his studies in Berlin, Munich, and in Paris at Académies Julian and Colarossi under Courtois, Bouguereau, and Robert-Fleury. While in Europe he studied the violin in the morning hours and painting in the afternoon. Upon returning to Los Angeles in 1892, he married and built a home at 1401 Albany Street where he lived for the rest of his life. Combining an art and music career, he helped form the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra in 1897 and served as their first concert master. While teaching music and art at his studio, he made painting excursions into the surrounding countryside, often with his pupil Elmer Wachtel. He combined his Munich technique with that of the Barbizon's influence to produce paintings of California deserts and mountains that held dramatic light and shade contrasts. Later his palette brightened and he leaned more toward Impressionism. Francisco's studio in the Blanchard Bldg and his home were a mecca for both painters and musicians until his death on Jan. 8, 1931. Member: American Artists Club (Munich); Calif.
