Vintage SAN FRANCISCO MODERNIST CITYSCAPE Painting by CaLiFoRnia Regionalist George Post. Painting is signed lower middle. Painting is in excellent original condition. Measures 15″ x 22″. Studied: California School of Fine Arts (San Francisco), Academie Frochot (Paris). Member: American Watercolor Society, California Water Color Society. In 1921, he received a scholarship to study at the California School of Fine Arts. His teachers were Gottardo Piazzoni, Otis Oldfield, Ray Boynton, Spencer Macky and Constance Macky. By 1930, Post was married and working as a commercial artist, while privately painting watercolors of San Francisco cityscape subjects. Although he received little instruction in watercolor at art school, he became very interested in this medium while viewing a show of outstanding watercolors by Stanley Wood in 1929. After that he became a committed watercolorist, producing works on a daily basis. When California became known as the center of a new movement in watercolor painting, Post had already produced a large body of work and was prepared to do exhibitions at museum and gallery shows. George presented one-man shows at the San Francisco Art Center, San Francisco Museum of Art, Oakland Art Gallery, Sacramento College Art Gallery, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, Sacramento Art Center and in a number of private galleries. His watercolors done for the P. Art Project were exhibited at the M. De Young Memorial Museum and a mural he painted in Sonora received positive reviews in the newspaper. As a member of the California Group, George Post’s works traveled in shows throughout America. Post’s watercolors, particularly the geometric abstractionist works done after the war, were well received in art circles throughout California. His style was modern enough to be exhibited in the progressive art shows and representational enough to be included in more conservative ones. His goals were to capture the essence of design and feeling offered by the subject, rather than to produce a realistic picture of the scene. Although many of his watercolors look deceptively simple, they are masterfully composed, spontaneously painted, and have a creative use of shadow and light to establish a definite mood. In addition to his painting career, Post also taught art for many years, in 1947, he was offered a job teaching at the California College of Arts and Crafts that only required him to teach two days per week. In the summers, he taught at the Brandt-Dike Summer School of Painting. When they closed the school, he taught summers for the T. Hewett Watercolor Workshops at various locations around the world. In 1991, a book titled George Post, which documents his life and art, was published by Hillcrest Press, Inc. (PO Box address may be subject to a surcharge). Thank You & Best wishes.

This listing is for the original oil painting that you see in the photos. Albert Tolf was an American artist, best-known for his paintings and cartoons about the city of San Francisco and its history. I do not know when it was painted. The frame makes me think that it was probably painted during the latter part of his life. The scene looks like San Francisco to me. The frame measures close to 17 ½ by 32 ¼ inches. The area of the painting exposed by the frame measures close to 14 ½ by 29 ¼ inches. The framed painting weighs close to 3 pounds 4 ounces. The painting feels like it is painted on some kind of canvas art board. I have not examined it out of its frame. The condition is much like you see it in the photos. Painting and frame are in excellent damage with no damage. The paint looks stable with no cracks. They look clean to me but the painting or frame might benefit from a light cleaning. There is a small tear in the paper backing on the frame. Otherwise, painting and frame are fine and as shown. I guarantee this painting and frame to be as described and represented by the 21 photos after the general description. The photos are part of the description. Please look at all of them. Please know that the lighting in my photos is uneven and that there might be shadows or reflections. The colors on my monitor look close to but not exactly like the actual colors. Different monitors may show different colors. I often say that an item measures or weighs “close to” because in my opinion no measurements are exact and some things are difficult to measure. Often, I have a double wall box custom made for larger items and that might result in a short delay. When I use packing peanuts, they are usually biodegradable. Sometimes, I use used boxes. 21 photos should load with this listing. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “foundfeeling” and is located in this country: US.
