ALFRED JAMES WANDS (1904-1998) American impressionist art seascape painting

Fine Art : Paintings : California Plein Air Art

 

Oil on canvasboard of an apparently California coastal scene, 20" by 24" (24 1/2" by 28 1/2" as framed), signed at lower right, not dated but likely circa 1950's, as there is a 1960 date on the old New Jersey framer's sticker on the reverse. This is a classic impressionist work of the California coast by a talented listed artist who also worked in Europe, Ohio, New Mexico in the course of a long career. Wands was born in Ohio, educated in Europe, and went on to paint in such artist colonies as Carmel and Taos, New Mexico. Landscapes were a favorite subject. This work could use a light cleaning/varnish but otherwise it's ready for the wall. The exact subject matter is difficult to determine; could be Laguna Beach area, or coastal San Diego, or, Monterey/Carmel. I also own a New Mexico work by the artist, in need of restoration. Shipping wizard figure are guesstimates. SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER WORKS NOW IN MY SHOP.
