About the Item
Beautiful 1903 impressionist fragment of a California landscape by Karl Yens (1868-1945, German). Watercolor on paper, created in 1903. Presented in a giltwood frame with a grey mat and plexiglass. Signed "Karl Yens 1903" in the lower right corner. Image size: 10.75" X 2.5"
Karl Yens (1868-1945, German) was born in Altona, Germany on Jan. 11, 1868. He later studied with Max Koch in Berlin and with Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris. He was active as a muralist in Germany and Edinburgh, Scotland before coming to the U.S. in 1901.
During the first decade in his adopted country, he fulfilled mural commissions in NYC and Washington, DC. After settling in southern California in 1910, he was active in Los Angeles and Pasadena before moving to Laguna Beach in 1918. His studio still stands there on South Coast Highway near Ruby Street. Yens died there on April 13, 1945.
A versatile painter, his oeuvre includes portraits, still lifes, landscapes, genre subjects, and many studio figure studies. Equally facile with oil and watercolor, his work is distinguished by its bold, colorful, and decorative style.
