Newport Beach Lifeguard Tower #74 - Signed Oil on Canvas

About the Item

The 158 lifeguard towers lining the Los Angeles County coast resemble mid-century modern stilt houses or classic seaside cabins. Often overlooked, these uncelebrated sentinels serve a dual purpose: shielding lifeguards from the blazing sun and offering an improved vantage point of the beach. Despite their apparent simplicity, these unassuming structures possess hidden depths. This particular lifeguard tower depicted in this painting bears the number 74, indicating that it is located in Newport Beach. The artist's intention is surprising in its choice not to paint another Southern California scene under a burning blue sky, but a more enigmatic, darker mood. The painting is eligibly signed.
