Meyer Straus oil landscape painting
Est: $600 - $900
Heading: Author: Straus, Meyer Title: Tailor Lake Place Published: [San Francisco] Publisher: Date Published: 1887 Description: Oil on canvas. 32x54 cm (12½x21¼"); in frame 41x62.5 cm (16¼x24½"). Signed with artist's monogram on bottom right corner of painting. A peaceful landscape painting of Taylor Lake (now Taylor Reservoir; spelled on painting "Tailor Lake"). Meyer Straus moved to San Francisco in 1875 and established himself as an easel painter. At one point, his art was praised by one of the most prominent art patrons of the day, Jane Stanford. He favored a realistic style; as a vehement critic of the Impressionist movement, he declared, "Impressionism is not art. It is a fad. The mission of art is to interpret, not imitate, art" (San Francisco Call, 25 January 1896).
