No landscape is more uniquely Californian than a field of golden poppies, and no early California artist approached this subject with the unique theatrical flair of Granville Redmond. His vast wildflower fields glitter with brilliant light and color, achieved through his distinct, almost pointillist style of impressionism. Rendered completely deaf by scarlet fever as a child, Redmond did not allow his lifelong inability to hear or speak hinder his artistic genius. Today his work is greatly sought after and highly valued, and the name Granville Redmond is counted among the most notable of the California Impressionists.
