About the Item

Measures Painting 20 x 25 inches Framed 24 x 39 inches (approximately) This luminist and atmospheric evening seascape by Granville Redmond (1871 - 1935) was painted on Catalina Island off the California coast c.1920. Redmond was a very prominent California Impressionist known for his serene tranquil and mood-filled California coastal paintings bathed in moonlight with waves gently rolling onto the shore. As a deaf mute, he explained that without speech and hearing, his abilities to see things in a detailed and poetic way were much more honed and enhanced. He was renowned for his Impressionist landscapes, particularly those featuring California wildflowers, coastal scenes, and tonal moonlit settings. Despite his deafness from a young age, Redmond achieved significant acclaim for his art and even acted in silent films, becoming friends with Charlie Chaplin, who built an art studio for him on his large movie lot. Redmond lost his hearing due to scarlet fever as a child and later attended the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley, where his artistic talents were nurtured. He studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco before continuing his studies in Paris at the Académie Julian. He became a highly respected landscape painter, shifting between vibrant Impressionist poppy fields and moody, atmospheric nocturnes. He was a close friend of Charlie Chaplin, who admired his paintings and even gave him small acting roles in silent films like City Lights (1931). His use of color and light was masterful, with his moonlit scenes often evoking a deep sense of peace and solitude. Redmond was a major figure in early 20th-century California art, influencing many landscape painters. His ability to depict emotion through scenery made his paintings highly sought after, and they remain in major museum and private collections today. This particular example was owned by silent Film Star Raymond Griffith, with whom Redmond starred in the 1926 film “You’d Be Surprised”. It was exhibited at the Crocker Museum and the Laguna Museum in 2020 in the one-man exhibition entitled “The Eloquent Palette”, and was pictured on the cover of accompanying catalogue.
