About the Item
Wonderful rustic landscape of ghost town Bodie, California titled, "The Old Trunk, Bodie" by Darwin Musselman (American, 1916-2010). Presented in a wooden frame. Egg tempera on Masonite, painted at his studio on Sequoia Drive in Fresno in 1972 (verified and authenticated by the son and estate, letter included). Signed "Darwin Musselman" lower right. Titled "The Old Trunk, Bodie" and signed "Darwin Musselman" on verso. Image size, 12"H x 24"W.
Darwin B Musselman was born in Selma, California, in 1916 and began his art education at Fresno State College, from which he graduated in 1938. He then attended the Art Center School in Los Angeles, where he studied with the portrait artist, Stanley Reckless and Willard Nash. The war years gave cause to relocate to the Bay Area, where he worked in the Richmond ship yards. He then went on to earn an M.F.A. from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, and a master's at the University of California - Berkeley. He was awarded a doctoral equivalence from the California State University system in 1966 and has engaged in advanced study with internationally known painters Lyonel Feininger and Yasuo Kuniyoshi.
Musselman was a member of the American Watercolor Society and the California Watercolor Society, founded in 1920, which in 1975 became the National Watercolor Society with him as a member. He was also on the first certification committee of the American Portrait Society. His work is also noted in the book "A California Style," published in 1985.
Musselman has had more than 50 one-man shows in major art museums, has been invited to show in 50 national, international and regional exhibits, and in 60 competitive shows.
A portrait artist since 1940, Musselman has amassed several awards for both his portraits and advertising illustrations. He was a professor of art, design and illustration at his alma mater, the California College of Arts and Crafts, and also spent 25 years on the faculty at the California State University in Fresno. He retired in 1978 to devote himself to painting.
