These wedding portraits are extremely rare and were taken in December, 1946, after he had established a commercial photography business in a small store-front studio in Carmel, CA, earlier that year. But in the early 1950’s he relocated to Berkeley, CA, and during the late 1950s he was chairman of the photographic department at the San Francisco Art Institute. These portraits were obtained during a brief window of opportunity when he did portrait photography before he became a world class landscape and architectural photographer. The larger portrait has the words, ” Photograph by Morley Baer Carmel, California” and #1457-3A. There is an additional cut on the left side of the photo made by the photographer. It has never been framed. The subject of the smaller photo in the folio is the bride with the same blouse, jacket, and hat as in the photo of the couple, and it appears to be a studio shot. There is no mark on the back indicating Morley Baer’s photography, but what appears to be a “3” crossed out and a “4”. Morley Baer went on to receive the distinguished National Award for Photography from the American Institute of Architects in 1966 and, in 1967, became one of the original founders of Friends of Photography along with Ansel Adams and Brett Weston in Carmel. In 1979 he became the first photographer ever to receive the coveted Prix de Rome from the American Academy. Countless articles and books have featured Baer’s photography, including his 1989 lifetime retrospective monograph entitled “Light Years”. Baer taught and mentored countless students in landscape and architectural photography from his stone house near Garrapata Beach, CA. From a pet-free, smoke-free, scent-free and mildew-free home. Thank you for looking!

This painting by Marguerite Freytag Ciprico is a stunning piece of art that showcases the beauty of California’s coastal trees. The canvas measures 21 inches in height and 23 inches in width, featuring an oil painting production technique. The painting is signed by the artist and was produced in 1940 during the Art Deco period. It is a one-of-a-kind original piece that has been framed and is ready to be displayed in your home or office. The handmade painting depicts nature in its most beautiful form, with a focus on the coastal trees of California. This painting by Ciprico is a must-have for any art collector or nature enthusiast. A significant early American Impressionist best know for her bold richly colored works in still life. Actual color is closest to that in my second photo. Born in Germany in 1891. Marguerite Freytag immigrated to San Francisco during the aftermath of the earthquake of 1906. Her art studies were begun locally with Theodore Wores, Eugen Neuhaus, Arthur Putnam, and at the San Francisco Institute of Art (1908-12).
