About The Pink Mountains

An amazingly fresh, vibrant oil sketch by George Barker, circa 1930's, dressed in the perfect gold frame.

    It bears a rubber stamp on verso "An original authentical painting by" "George Barker" is written in. Also, the artist has written himself a reminder citation on the back "Prime 30 canvases differnt (sic) colors (pale)". He has also drawn on the panel's back a broom, a dust pan and a fly swatter in graphite.

 

About George Barker

(1882-1965) Born in Omaha, Nebraska, George Barker was a portrait and landscape painter who studied with J Laurie Wallace and Edwin Scott before going to Grande Chaumiere in Paris, where he was the pupil of Andre Lhote. From 1911-1921, he taught art in Omaha and then moved to Long Beach, California and taught at Long Beach Polytechnic High School until 1929. He was active in the Santa Monica Art Association. A man of independent means, he lectured on wide-ranging subjects that included French Painting, Thomas Eakins, and Velasquez. He was married to Olive Barker, also an artist and with her traveled and painted, beginning in the 1930s, to Arizona and New Mexico. From 1929 to 1965, he lived with his wife in a home in Pacific Palisades.

Barker is included in Edan Hughes' book Artists in California 1786-1940 as well as Nancy Dustin Wall Moure's publication naming artists in Southern California.
