Harrison Clarke 1920s Architectural & Figure Painting Santa Barbara Los Angeles

Description: The Banquet Room ARTIST: Harrison Clarke (1890-unknown)TITLE: UntitledDATE: Undated STYLE: Impressionism/illustrationDESCRIPTION: An absolutely beautiful gouache painting by this early Southern California artist who worked with noted architects, creating renderings and other illustrations. This is one of two Harrison Clarke paintings that I have, which both came out of a very old Montecito estate. I am unsure of the locations depicted, but these are very grand rooms with old-world style, populated by colorful, stylized figures, and plenty of wonderfully painted details. Perhaps an architecture buff will recognize the interiors.

After serving in France in the First World War, he went to France to study art and further his education in architecture. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Toulouse and made a sketching tour across Europe. Returning to the U.S., he devoted his attention to architectural renderings for Myron Hunt and other well-known architects. By the late 1920s he had settled in Los Angeles and was active there into the 1930s. His etchings are mostly architectural subjects.
