Description

This atmospheric landscape by Lawrence A. Brunner captures the quiet majesty of California’s inland hills, rendered with confident brushstrokes and a serene palette of earthy ochres and cool shadow tones. Likely painted during Brunner’s time in Los Angeles in the 1930s–40s, this work offers a glimpse into the natural stillness that drew early California painters to the West.

A graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago and Cincinnati Art Academy, Brunner exhibited a refined eye for composition, light, and mood. The warm glow across the valley floor and the soft mountains beyond evoke a sense of deep place—an early 20th-century vision of California, untouched and timeless.
