DescriptionIn Summer Night, Aloys Ludwig Bohnen depicts a lavish soirée in a grove of eucalyptus trees lit by lanterns, personifying the glamorous, modern life of the region and the pleasures waiting for those who will visit or reside in California. Bohnen lived in Point Loma in the San Diego area and helped establish the La Jolla Art Association in 1918. Much of his work burned down in a studio fire, making this painting somewhat rare.
