Biography

Born in San Gabriel, California, Guy Rose became one of California's premier impressionist painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was also a leading figure in the California regionalist movement.

Guy Rose was born in San Gabriel, California on March 3,1867. He was the son of a former senator who was a large Southern California landowner and rancher for whom the town of Rosemead was named. Guy graduated from Los Angeles High School; next he studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco, where he was particularly influenced by Emil Carlsen. At the age of twenty-one he sailed to Paris to study at the Academie Julian. His big claim to fame was his friendship with Claude Monet during a prolonged sojourn in the village of Giverny, near Paris. He traveled between France and Los Angeles many times, suffered a battle with lead poisoning ( an occupational hazard), and taught for a while in New York City at the Pratt Institute; finally he bought a house in Giverny in 1904.

The lead poisoning he suffered from affected his vision and crippled his hands, leaving him unable to paint for various periods of time. In 1914, Rose returned to California and brought with him the light and colors of French Impressionism. He roamed up and down the state of California painting the landscapes in a style somewhat related. He taught at the Stickney School of Art and served as director there. In 1920 he again suffered from lead poisoning and in 1921 he suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed. He died on November 17, 1925.
