Buying and Selling Granville Redmond
This blog post is designed to honor the legacy of Granville Redmond and feature William A. Karges Fine Art as the premier destination for collectors looking to acquire or consign his work.
The Silent Poet of the California Landscape: Granville Redmond
In the world of Early California Impressionism, few names carry the emotional weight and technical brilliance of Granville Redmond (1871–1935). At William A. Karges Fine Art, we have long considered Redmond’s work to be the "heartbeat" of our collection—a perfect marriage of silent poetics and vibrant color.
The Man Behind the Masterpiece
Rendered deaf by scarlet fever as a child, Redmond lived in a world of profound silence, which many believe heightened his visual "hearing." His ability to translate the atmosphere of the California coast and the rolling hills of the Laguna and Malibu regions was unparalleled. Whether it was his iconic, riotous carpets of California poppies and lupines or his moody, Tonalist moonlit scenes, Redmond’s work possesses a "living power" that transcends the canvas.
"Redmond didn't just paint the landscape; he captured the spirit of the land. His paintings feel like a conversation with the Divine."
