About the Item

Provenance Consigned to the gallery by private collectors Description A prominent watercolorist during the Depression era of the 1930s and early 1940s, Phil Paradise was instrumental in establishing the California Style of Watercolor Painting and was part of the California Scene Painting movement and American Regionalist Art. This colorful and complex bird’s-eye view exhibits the bold execution and experimental approach that was a hallmark of his style. In this painting, a crenelated tower dominates a village rising on a hill. The bay below is scattered with sailboats, and inscribed by a string of mountains. The work is an original mid-century-modern watercolor painting that depicts a colorful fishing village and port, believed to be the island of Haiti, known as “the pearl of the Caribbean.” After the mid-1940s, Paradise traveled and lived in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean Islands, painting along the way. Paradise taught at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and Scripps College in Claremont, California and was elected an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design, New York. Additionally, Paradise served as elected president of the California Water Color Society. FRAMED: 25" x 32" UNFRAMED: 14.5" x 20.75" Frame Wood with gold gilt finish, made by Riegler & Sons.
