About This Item
San Francisco, CA: By the Artist, 1925. Softcover. Silver gelatin photograph in printed yellow wraps, tied with a decorative silk string; photo 3 3/4 x 6 3/4, wraps 4 1/4 x 7 1/4; light creasing to wraps; photo subtitled in lower margin; near fine condition.A beautiful advertising piece from the artist's late years, most probably given to potential customers at his studio, the photograph depicted one of Rea's award-winning paintings of Loma Alta - one of the highest points of Marin County in the Bay Area - and was subtitled: "Loma Alta at the end of a perfect day. California State Fair Special Award, 1925. All copyrights reserved by Louis E. rea, Artist." Louis Rea (1868-1927) was born in Flint, Michigan and his family moved to Northern California in 1876, to the small town of Lincoln in Placer County. He exhibited a significant artistic talent at a young age and was known for his refusing to paint any buildings in his art, saying that they detracted from the beauty of the nature in his landscapes. His most famous technique was the shadowing of the foreground and showing the high hills of Sonoma and Marin Counties in the background in bright, dramatic colors. Rea died of appendicitis in San Francisco.
