About the Item

Measures Painting 20 x 16 inches Framed 27 x 23 inches This lovely early 20th century William Wendt (1865 - 1946) painting c. 1909 features a Pasadena California landscape dominated by large and stately eucalyptus trees along a rural road (likely Lake Avenue) against a distant backdrop of the lavender hued San Gabriel mountains. The impressionistic feathery brushwork showcases Wendt’s earlier style with its soft color palette and poetic, evocative dreamlike qualities. Often referred to as the “Dean of Southern California Painters”, Wendt’s work can be found in many California and American museum collections, as well as in discerning and advanced private collections. The vertical format of this painting is rare for Wendt, and well works in capturing the design of the location. The painting is in excellent condition and retains a wonderful period hand carved wood frame covered in 23k gold. The painting is signed in the lower right hand corner.

Moonlight Along the Coast
Located in Spokane, WA
Measures Painting 20 x 25 inches Framed 24 x 39 inches (approximately) This luminist and atmospheric evening seascape by Granville Redmond (1871 - 1935) was painted on Catalina Island off the California coast c.1920. Redmond was a very prominent California Impressionist known for his serene tranquil and mood-filled California coastal paintings bathed in moonlight with waves gently rolling onto the shore. As a deaf mute, he explained that without speech and hearing, his abilities to see things in a detailed and poetic way were much more honed and enhanced. He was renowned for his Impressionist landscapes, particularly those featuring California wildflowers, coastal scenes, and tonal moonlit settings. Despite his deafness from a young age, Redmond achieved significant acclaim for his art and even acted in silent films, becoming friends with Charlie Chaplin, who built an art studio for him on his large movie lot. Redmond lost his hearing due to scarlet fever as a child and later attended the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley, where his artistic talents were nurtured. He studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco before continuing his studies in Paris at the Académie Julian. He became a highly respected landscape painter, shifting between vibrant Impressionist poppy...
