About the Item

A beautiful 1930's landscape titled "Trail into California Mountains" by Oklahoman artist Sidney Lorenzo Brock (American, 1869-1943). Presented in a rustic giltwood frame. Signed "Sidney L. Brock" and dated "1937" lower right. Titled "Trail into California mountains" and signed "Sidney Brock" on verso. Image: 16"H x 20"W. In a period carved giltwood frame. Framed size: 20.5"H x 24"W. Provenance: The Edan Hughes Collection with Edan's hand written notes. Brock Park sits in southwest Oklahoma City along Pennsylvania Avenue between SW 29 and SW 36. Brock Creek runs through it, and it has a playground and a walking trail. Brock Drive runs along the west side of the park. It has been a park since 1909. It was named for, and the land donated by, Sidney L. (Lorenzo) Brock, a pioneer civic leader who left a personal legacy to Oklahoma City that endures today. Sidney L. Brock was born in 1869 to a family of comfortable means in Missouri. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University and began a career of general merchandising with a partner. He bought his partner out and later sold a successful business to begin raising cattle.He was a success at that, too, but in 1905 he moved to Oklahoma City and opened Sidney L. Brock Dry Goods Store on Main Street and became a civic leader. In 1909 he was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce and recognized that Oklahoma City’s manpower, resources and location would be an ideal place for a packing plant. Within months, the chamber, with Brock as a driving force, had convinced Morris & Co., one of the major meatpackers in the country to build a plant in Oklahoma City. In October 1910 the plant opened with Sidney Brock pressing a button in New York City that started power to the plant in Oklahoma City. The packing plants — another was built soon after — were major Oklahoma City employers for several decades, and housing additions were built on the south side of Oklahoma City, and the streetcar line was extended to transport workers and their families. It could be said without the vision of the Chamber of Commerce and the leadership of Sidney Brock, the Oklahoma National Stockyards might never have existed, and certainly not on the scale it has achieved. Sidney Brock only stayed in Oklahoma City until 1915, when he retired, sold his store to the predecessor of John A. Brown’s and moved to Colorado and then to California. He visited often, though, because his daughter and son-in-law and two grandsons lived in Nichols Hills, and the newspaper society writers kept tabs on their activities. He became an artist, he was a charter member of the Oklahoma Art League. When Sidney L. Brock died in 1943 in California, his obituary published in The Oklahoman, March 20, 1943, summed up his life with this statement: “He retired in 1915, and has since lived in Denver, Florida and California, but has always considered Oklahoma City his home.” A distinguished Oklahoman Sydney Lorenzo Brock has a solid place in Oklahoma History.
