About the Item

Beautiful mid century impressionist mountain landscape of a High Sierra lake in winter by Carmel and Hollywood artist Helen Mae Enoch Gleiforst (American, 1903-1997), c.1950. The dramatic snowy mountain peaks are shown from a high vantage point, with the epic slopes sprawling down below to a calm lake. The artist uses a painterly Impressionist style with expressive brushstrokes and touches of color in the snow to add depth and interest to this lovely mid century piece. Signed lower left “Gleiforst.” Unframed. Measures 25"H x 30"W. Gleiforst was born in Nebraska but soon moved to Oregon where she studied at the University of Oregon. She then settled in Beverly Hills where she began to paint. Her teachers included Nicolai Fechin, George Melcher, and John Hubbard Rich. Gleiforst primarily painted plein air, as well as landscapes and florals. During her lifetime, Helen Gleiforst frequently exhibited her artwork including one-person shows at Stanford University, Ebell Society of the Federated Women’s Clubs, the Beverly Hills and Westwood Women's Clubs, and at Clearwater Junior High School. In 2006, her work was featured among top California plein-aire painters in Santa Barbara in the Sullivan Goss Gallery exhibition titled “Early California.”
