ROBERT W. WOOD (1889 - 1979)
Autumn in Bishop
Oil on Canvas Board, 20" x 24"
signed lower right
Wood's father, a successful painter, recognized
Robert's talent at an early age and enrolled Wood in
art school at the age of 12. At age 19, he immigrated
to America, settled in Illinois, and worked as a hired
hand. He then struck out on his own living, the life of
an itinerate painter. Wood traveled as a hobo, hopping
trains and selling or bartering small paintings for
support along the way. In this manner, he saw most of
the United States and fell in love with rural America.
After 17 years in Texas, in 1941 Wood moved to the
coastal town of Laguna Beach, California. Laguna had
been an artist colony since early in the century and
it was the birthplace for California Plein-Air School,
which was still active. While in Laguna, he developed
a following for both his landscapes and marine
paintings. At the age of 80, the American Express
Company commissioned him to paint a series of six
works to be reproduced as limited edition serigraphs
for their cardholders, each print depicting one of the
National Parks.
