Description

A colorful monotype of the Southern California landscape, done in 1929 by Cora A. Smith. This impression was exhibited in the 1997 National Museum of Art exhibition "Singular Impressions - The Monotype in America". It was not included in the book, curator/author Joann Moser used an example of Smith's black and white monotype, on page 107, figure 110.

Moser comments: "...Cora Smith, a resident of Ocean Beach, near San Diego made....monotypes in the 1920s and 1930s. Not much is known about her career, but in 1935 she exhibited monotypes at the California-Pacific International Exposition in San Diego, where she was listed as a painter and etcher; it is clear that her monotypes and etchings are closely related. Her tight, linear, detailed landscape compositions reveal exceptional control at the expense of spontaneity."
