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 Large 1930s Modern Painting of Jackson Square, New Orleans, St. Lous Cathedral
By Walter Burt Adams
Located in Chicago, IL
A Large, Striking 1930s Modern Painting of the Historic St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square, New Orleans by Notable Chicago Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A painterly view of the historic landmark and park located in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Completed circa 1938 during one of the artist's painting trips to New Orleans, and most likely painted in the quiet hours after dawn before any pedestrians or sight-seers walk the typically bustling city square. Artwork size: 36 x 30 inches, oil on canvas (framed size: 36 1/2 x 30 1/2 inches). Unsigned. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...
