John Clymer Art
British, American, b. 1932
An impressionist landscape painter, who until recently unfortunately was often confused with the American illustrator and painter John Ford Clymer (1907-1989). Our "John Clymer" has also been known to sign works as "John Moris" and now as "John Roby."
Until the internet helped to distinguish the two artists, the younger Clymer's works were pretty much sold on their own merits as attractive, impressionistic, colorful decorative paintings. Now, happily, biographical information has become available on him, enabling him to emerge from the misattribution era when he was mixed up with the American illustrator.
Clymer was born in Brighton, England in 1932. Early on his artistic talents were recognized and his father enrolled him in art education classes at the Royal Academy. In recent years, he has become recognized in England, the Continent and the USA for his skill in creating impressionist landscapes and coastal scenes.(Biography provided by David Barnett Gallery)

"Figures in the Village" British American Impressionist Oil Painting on Canvas
By John Clymer
Located in New York, NY
A masterful oil painting depicting a countryside village scene with figures by British American artist John Clymer. As an Impressionist painter, he was known for his pastoral landscapes depicting scenes from daily life; notably provincial French towns. He also created numerous views of city life during his stays in Paris. This piece is an excellent example of the works produced during the 1950's with use of a rich color pallet and layers of paint giving this work such a stunning representation of country life. The way he uses flecks of light dashed onto the canvas creates a joy for the viewer to experience. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes comes housed in a beautiful gold tone wood carved frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 12 x 16 inches
Frame measures 17.5 x 21.5 inches
John Clymer was born near Brighton, England in 1932. At a very early age, he exhibited definite artistic talents. His father immediately recognized his son's gift and enrolled him at the royal art academy. John was soon swept by the serenity and tranquility of the impressionists. His favorites ranged from Monet to Pissaro and Sisley; eventually leading to an awakening interest in the magnificent Turners at Tate galleries. Clymer's serene yet colorful canvasses ably depict his love for the southern english coastline. Demand for his canvasses is very high in the United States and the European continent while still relatively dormant in his home country.

Early 20th Century Mission San Juan Capistrano - Figurative Landscape
By Warren E. Rollins
Located in Soquel, CA
Stunning figurative landscape of the Mission San Juan Capistrano by Warren Eliphalet Rollins (American, 1861-1962). Presented in a giltwood frame. "Capistrano" lower right, unsigned. This is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Image size, 14.5"H x 21"W.
For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony." He was the first artist to have a formal exhibition there; it was held in 1906 in the old Palace of the Governors. He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century.
Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane...
