Alexander Harrison |
 |
The Circle of the Sea |
 |
(Thomas) Alexander Harrison (American, 1853 - 1930). The older brother of painter Birge Harrison, Alexander Harrison's first career was as a topographical draftsman for the U.S. Coastal Survey, following early studies in art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. By 1879, however, he was in Paris studying art with Jerome and Bastien-Lepage. Harrison remained in France for most of his adult life, exhibting extensively in Paris. He returned to the States often, however, where he work found great favor. Harrison received numerous exhibition medals on both sides of the Atlantic and his work can be found in numerous museums in the US and Europe. On his death in 1930, the New York Times described Harrison as the "dean of American painters."
Given its size, subject matter, and brilliant execution, this work clearly ranks as a major work by the artist. It combines the elements he was most noted for: the sea and its changing colors and movements at the end of the day; human figures (here two boys playing in the surf) and an element of symbolist mystery (branches bent into the shape of a circle held aloft by the two boys). |

Sunset over Flooded Landscape |

Monterey Coast |

Carl Kenzler (1880 - ). This lovely scene of the California coast, most likely from the Monterey area, is evocative of the strong arts and craft influence in the artist colony that thrived in the area in the early part of the last century. |

Thomas Alexander Harrison (American, 1853 -1930)Alexander Harrison's first career was as a topographical draftsman for the U.S. Coastal Survey, following early studies in art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA). By 1879, however, he was studying with Jerome and Bastien-Lepage in Paris, where he soon established his reputation as a leader among American painters there. Harrison remained in France for most of his adult life, exhibiting extensively in Paris. He returned to the States often, however, where he also exhibited extensively (perhaps most so at the PAFA), and where his work found great favor.

Erle Loran |
|
Left Coast Marine |
|
Erle Loran (American, 1905 - 1999)Minnesota-born, -raised and –educated, Loran was a devotee of the work of Paul Cezanne as a young artist and lived in the Aix-en-Provence studio of the master during a four year stay in France from 1926 to 1930. He joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1936, and became a leading exponent of the Berkeley School with its emphasis on abstraction, texture, line and color. His own work progressed from colorlful lyrical abtractions inspired by his study of Cezanne to increasingly abstracted land and seascapes in the 1940’s and finally to works in the 1960’s that were Op and Pop art influenced. Among his students were Richard Diebenkorn, Ynez Johnston, and Elmer Bischoff. Loran painted and exhibited extensively throughout his teaching career, winning numerous medals along the way. His works can be found in numerous museums including the Smithsonian and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
