520 $aThis 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 naturalsettings 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. In1909, these artists founded the California Art Club, which stands today as one of the most esteemed painting societies in the United States. This volume 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. -- Provided by publisher.
