DescriptionMilford Zornes was a part of the California Water Color Society, a tight-knit group of many of the most famous 20th century Californian watercolorists. Predominantly active in the 1930s and pre-war ‘40s, the group pushed each other to the limit of their abilities. By the 1960s, when Zornes painted this view of Corona del Mar’s jetty, California’s art scene had come to favor non-objective art. The sparingly rendered beachgoers show the changes that California Scene painters took to remain relevant in the face of changing sensibilities.
