This volume showcases 200 works by California Art Club artists who
have focused on the evocative seascapes, charming seaside towns,
and beach communities from San Diego to San Francisco,
demonstrating a breathtaking range of natural settings suffused
with atmosphere, drama, and light. Since the dawn of the twentieth
century, California has been home to artists from all over America
and Europe who aspired to depict the state s compelling natural
landscapes on canvas. In 1909, these artists founded the California
Art Club, which stands today as one of the most esteemed painting
societies in the United States. This volume, which follows Skira
Rizzoli s luminous California Light: A Century of Landscapes,
presents more of the club s distinctive and lush plein air
painting, an impressionistic style in which painters work outdoors
in order to capture the ephemeral moment when the natural lighting
of a landscape elevates an already beautiful scene into something
sublime. As observed by W.H. Auden, Thousands have lived without
love, not one without water. We as a species are drawn to the sea
artists perhaps even more so than others, as beautifully evidenced
in this book.
