Granville Seymour Redmond was born March 9, 1871 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and died May 24, 1935 in Los Angeles, California. Redmond's family migrated from the East Coast to San Jose, California about 1874. As a result of becoming totally deaf at the age of two-and-one-half due to scarlet fever, he attended the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, California between 1879 to 1890. 

His talent as an artist was recognized and encouraged early by his art instructor, and in 1890 Redmond enrolled at the California School of Design in San Francisco. He won the W. E. Brown medal of excellence, and in 1893 was awarded endowment funds that enabled him to continue his art studies at the Academie Julian in Paris.

In 1895 his huge painting "Matin d'hiver" was accepted at the Paris Salon. In 1898 Redmond moved to California, and in 1899, he married Carrie Ann Jean. The Redmonds decided to make California their home.


Deeply inspired by the California landscape, Redmond painted primarily coastal landscapes. By 1905 Redmond had become widely recognized as a leading California landscape painter, known for his impressionist landscapes of Northern and Southern California. Redmond showed a remarkable understanding of color and depth, always painting with sympathies to the delicate beauties of nature. More on Granville Seymour Redmond
