About the Item

A beautiful example of the artists work, this painting exudes warmth and light even albeit a winter scene. An impressionist landscape painter, carver, etcher and teacher, George Demont Otis maintained studios in Chicago, Colorado and California, living most of his career on the West Coast. After finishing at the Institute, Otis enrolled in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts with John Vanderpoel. He also trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and in New York City at Cooper Union, the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. In addition, he took private lessons with John Carlson and William Merritt Chase for landscape, Izra Winters and Wellington Reynolds for figure and Robert Henri for still life. Early in the century, he had a studio in Chicago and also taught at the Art Institute. Otis was an energetic, robust man who frequently journeyed to wilderness areas to paint. He also established a studio near Estes Park Colorado, and in 1900, first visited California where he was intrigued by the "quality of light and the clearness of the air." (Starr 11) In 1930, Otis moved to San Francisco and lived with an enclave of artists on Montgomery Street and then in the studio of Arthur Putnam near Golden Gate Park. A year later, he married Clara Van Tine, a San Francisco business woman. In 1934 he and Clara opened a studio and gallery in Kentfield in Marin County, and this became a showcase for paintings by Otis as well as carvings, stained-glass windows and etchings. Operating this studio-gallery combination was in keeping with the artist's commitment to selling his own work and not working with dealers. Otis enjoyed socializing, and people came from all over to visit and to take classes from him. Among his friends were John Steinbeck, Jack London and Brother Cornelius. "Over five-hundred of Otis' students became professional artists. He encouraged them to develop diverse styles, forming the school of Western Impressionism early in the twentieth century." (Starr 6) Affiliations included the Chicago Society of Art, Laguna Beach Art Association, Palette and Chisel Club of Chicago and the Marin Society of Artists.
