Jack Wilkinson Smith
Mountain Landscape - Sierra Nevada, c. 1927

c. 1927

About the Item

Provenance Consigned to the gallery by private collectors Description Jack Wilkinson Smith was a New York-based illustrator before moving out West around 1906 seeking the mythical Western experience. He settled in the San Gabriel Valley town of Alhambra in the small art colony known as Artists’ Alley. Smith’s marvelous, loosely-painted, rugged landscape embodies adventure. This painting, circa 1927, shows a beckoning trail meandering up and over a rocky slope dotted with pine while heading in the direction of a distant mountain vista. Overall, a memorable interpretation of nature’s bounty and serenity in the remote Western landscape. When asked about California, Smith responded, “Why go elsewhere? Where are mountains nobler than the Sierras?" Frame Wood with gold gilt finish.
