- 'Monterey at Sunset', California Post-Impressionist LandscapeBy John MaxonLocated in Santa Cruz, CAA 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.

He attended San Jose State University, and apprenticed for Sam Richardson...Category
