About the Item

Measurements Painting 11.75 x 15.75 inches Framed 18.5 x 23 inches Lillie May Nicholson (1884–1964) was an American Impressionist painter known for her vibrant landscapes, often featuring California scenery and wildflowers. Her work is characterized by loose brushwork, rich color palettes, and an emphasis on natural light, similar to the California Impressionist movement. The present work reflects her signature style, with a field of wildflowers leading into rolling hills, a distant ocean view, and soft atmospheric effects. The composition and use of blue, yellow, and green hues create a serene, luminous effect. Lillie May Nicholson (1884–1964) was an American painter renowned for her vibrant coastal landscapes and contributions to California Impressionism. Born on August 29, 1884, near Aromas, California, Nicholson's early life on her family's ranch fostered a deep connection to the natural beauty that would later define her artistic oeuvre. She graduated from the California State Normal School in San Jose in 1907. She subsequently taught in Hawaii (1908–1910) and Watsonville, California (1910–1911). During her teaching tenure in Watsonville, she studied watercolor techniques under L. Minnie Pardee. Her artistic journey continued in Kyoto, Japan (1911–1916), where she studied art under J. Taguchi, immersing herself in Eastern artistic traditions. Upon returning to California, Nicholson attended the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, studying under Gottardo Piazzoni. Her education culminated in a distinctive style characterized by vivid colors and loose horizontal brushstrokes, capturing the essence of California's coastal landscapes. From 1923 to 1938, Nicholson maintained a studio in Pacific Grove, California, where she specialized in coastal scenes and depictions of the fishing industry around Monterey. Her work is noted for its vibrant palette and impressionistic style, often portraying the interplay of light and color along the California coast. Nicholson's contributions to California Impressionism have solidified her place in American art history. Her works are held in esteemed collections, including the Monterey Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the White House Collection. Her ability to capture the fleeting beauty of California's coastal landscapes continues to resonate with art enthusiasts and collectors alike. The present work is in excellent condition and retains a beautiful period Stanford White style carved and 23K gold gilt frame, which adds great appeal to the total presentation.

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...
