EDGAR PAYNE (CALIFORNIA, 1883-1947) MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE Oil on artist board. Signed 'Edgar Payne' (lower left).
Edgar Alwin Payne ((American, 1883-1947)
Born in rural Missouri, Edgar Payne grew up in the Ozark Mountains which instilled in him a love for the wilderness that would remain with him for the rest of his life. By the age of fourteen, Payne was completely on his own and made his way painting houses, signs, and stage sets until he reached Chicago and began a brief period of formal training in fine art at the Art Institute of Chicago.
While in Chicago, Payne learned of a nascent art colony located at Laguna Beach, California. In 1911 he made his first visit to the region that would provide him with a lifetime of inspiration and which he was to immortalize on canvas. By 1917 Payne had made Laguna Beach his home. Here he was inspired by subjects that were close at hand: Santa Catalina, Laguna Canyon, and the Laguna shoreline. However, Payne was driven by an incessant wanderlust that lured him away from the southland. Between 1922 and 1924, he traveled Europe and completed a series of impressive maritime and mountain scenes which strongly suggest his more mature work.
