  • 'Monterey at Sunset', California Post-Impressionist Landscape
    By John Maxon
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    A substantial trillium monotype landscape showing a view of the cultivated fields and coastal hills of Monterey County, California bathed in the glow of a radiant sunset. Signed lower left, "Maxon" for John Maxon (American, 20th century) and created circa 1985. Coming from a western tradition in Wyoming, John Maxon developed an expansive view of nature and the spiritual essence it imbued. Moving eventually to the San Francisco Bay area, John’s delight in the effects of light and color led him to the decision to become an artist at the young age of 15. His natural ability was encouraged and, at 16, he began figurative art classes with Howard Brodie. Maxon spent his youthful days painting seriously in the fields behind Stanford University, and was fortunate to be exposed to and to study the works of Nathan Oliviera, Wayne Thiebaud and David Park during those years. He attended San Jose State University, and apprenticed for Sam Richardson...
