Guy Rose received a traditional late-nineteenth century academic art training, first in his native California and later in Paris. During the first two decards of the twentieth centry, he divided his time between the French village of Giverny, made famous by Claude Monet, and California. In France, Rose learned the luminous Impressionist painting strategies that he transferred to the Pacific coastal scenes he painted when he returned to California." -- From jacket.
