Arthur Bowen Davies (Painter)
1862-1928
Arthur B. Davies, who was born in Utica, New York, and spent his career in New York City, is best known for remote, timeless landscapes painted many oil sketches on a summer trip through California, Oregon, Washington, and parts of Canada in 1905; he later developed many of the sketches he completed on his western trip in larger compositions. Western scenery such as this California landscape is thought to have particularly influenced Davies’s work.
