About the Item

River Lagoon with a “Carmel Meadows” free bluff in the background by Alfred Schroff (American, 1863-1939). An exceptional painting with distinct brushwork of the Carmel River mouth, the painting captures a view looking across the low-lying Carmel River Lagoon wetlands, with the coastal hills of Carmel Meadows rising steeply in the background. The cluster of buildings sheltered by the trees are early structures or farmsteads that dotted the river basin before modern development and the establishment of the protected Carmel River State Beach area. Image, 20"H x 26"W. Frame, 23.5" X 29.5"W x 2"D Signed lower left Alfred Schroff, 1921. Plein air artists loved this exact spot because the river mouth creates a unique geographic intersection where the flat, reflective water of the lagoon meets the massive, dark backdrop of the Santa Lucia coastal range foothills. Painter, etcher, stained-glass designer. Born in Springfield, MA on Dec. 26, 1863. Schroff studied at Cowles Art School and under Major, Chominski, and De Camp. He was active in Boston during the early part of his career and in 1915 moved to Eugene, OR where he taught for many years at the University of Oregon. During the 1920s and 1930s he had a home in Carmel, CA where he was a professor at UCs Summer School. He died in Eugene, OR on April 16, 1939. Member: Carmel AA; Laguna Beach AA; Boston Art Club; Boston Architects Club; Pacific AA; Oakland Art League; Copley Society; Society of Oregon Artists. Exh: World's Columbian Expo (Chicago), 1893 (medal); Seattle, 1923 (1st prize); Beaux Arts, Fontainebleau, 1924; Oakland Art Gallery, 1928, 1933; San Francisco Art Association, 1928; East West Gallery (SF), 1935, AAA 1900-33; WWAA 1936-39; SF Chronicle, 12-23-1935. While Schroff spent much of his formal academic career as an art professor at the University of Oregon, he maintained a deeply personal and professional connection to the California coast. During the 1920s and 1930s, he owned a home in Carmel, California, and regularly spent his summers teaching art for the University of California summer session. He was an active member of the Carmel Art Association, capturing the regional light, coastal bluffs, and distinctive Monterey landscape in numerous paintings, etchings, and watercolors.
