DescriptionWhen the McCloskeys moved to Los Angeles in 1884, ostensibly to be near family members, they already excelled at still life and portraiture. It did not take them long to establish a lucrative new direction for their art—the painting of the exotic fruits and flowers of California, including grapes, tangerines, oranges, lemons, apples, cherries, strawberries, chrysanthemums, and other flowers, as seen here in Alberta McCloskey’s luxurious painting of roses and lilacs in an Oriental vase.On View
