Marcel Emile Cailliet emigrated from Dijon, France to New York in 1917, where he first studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Upon the invitation of his uncle, the artist Emile Cailliet, Marcel moved to Los Angeles in 1938 to study with Millard Sheets at Claremont College. He earned his BA and MFA degrees at the University of Southern California and subsequently continued his art studies at the Chouinard Art School. A member of the California Watercolor Society and Laguna Beach Art Association, Cailiet exhibited in the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition and the Oakland Art Gallery (1939). Beginning at the outbreak of war, he was commissioned as an ensign and sent to Camp Perry, Virginia, then Washington, D.C., then to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii where he served for seven years, ending at the Navy Pacific University as an instructor, and with the rank of lieutenant. Cailliet then moved to Oahu, Hawaii, where he continued to paint, teach and exhibit with success.

A Serene 1940s, Modern Western Landscape Painting with Horses by Francis Chapin
By Francis Chapin
Located in Chicago, IL
A serene, 1940s Modern Western landscape painting with horses by famed Chicago artist, Francis Chapin. Accompanied with a handsome walnut brown stained wooden frame. Canvas size: 22 x 28 inches. Framed size: 25 x 31 inches. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington and Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...
