Ralph Love was born in Los Angeles, California in 1907. He died in 1992 in Escondido, California. For many years, Ralph Love taught as well as painted. On rainy days, his class would meet in the old Art Shack in Temecula, California, which Love opened in the mid-fifties. It was from this Art Shack that his work received national recognition.
Ralph Love was perhaps most well-known for painting the Grand Canyon and California landscapes. "Arizona Life" (magazine) featured his work on the cover and on the inside spread, showing several of his original oils. Senator Barry Goldwater owned several of Love's Grand Canyon paintings, and a letter from him stated,"...Love is the finest living American artist I know, and I could look at his work all day long."
Ralph Love paintings are hanging in several other museums throughout the West, including the Northern Arizona Museum in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Phillips 66 Museum in Oklahoma, and the Leanin' Tree Museum in Boulder, Colorado.
Ralph Love is listed in "Who's Who of International Art", in the Tenth Anniversary edition of the "Southwest Art Magazine" hardcover contemporary artist listings, Prize Winning Paintings published in New York, and has been featured several times in Southwest Art, Artist of the Rockies, Western Art Digest, and Art of the West. He is listed in the Edan Hughes reference book of Early California Painters from 1840 to 1940.
Though art was his career from his youth, Ralph Love was also an ordained minister. He often used his art in the ministry and would combine the two in special meetings in churches all over the West. A very special treat for the congregation was when he would pick up the violin and play a medley of favorite hymns. In his studio, he always painted to classical music and would often stop painting to play his favorite passages on the violin.
Ralph Love received no formal art training but was literally self-taught. It was when he was about eleven or twelve, his teacher took the class to the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and he discovered what he wanted to do. As a young artist, he had the privilege of painting for two years with Sam Hyde Harris. This was the only real "formal" training Ralph Love had.
