About the Item

Oil on canvas board. Signed and dated lower left. Unframed. Born in Mexico, Salvador de Regil came to America in the 1930s. As his artistic expression developed, he became known for his surreal paintings. In 1940 de Regil completed a gouache portrait of Bob Hope on the set of Ghostbreakers. The painting was based on the film plot and is presently part of the Bob Hope Archives (#187). Salvador de Regil was represented by the famous Julien Levy Gallery in NYC and in 1941 had a solo exhibit. When Julien Levy died in 1981 the gallery archives were donated to the Art Institute of Chicago. During WWII de Regil worked in Texas painting glass eyes for blinded soldiers. After the war he settled in the Bay Area where he painted and taught. De Regil designed the popular restaurant and watering hole Tiburon Tommies which was a favorite of all the artists of the area. De Regil was also associated with The Art League of California (no longer in existence), and at least one catalog has his photo. He participated in their professional continuing education series. There are also records of de Regil in the Museum of Modern Art Department of Painting and Sculpture. Salvador de Regil moved to Laguna Beach in the early 1960s. In 1968 he died and was buried in Lake Forest, California. He was married twice and has one daughter. Information provided by Wendy Weigman.
