註釋"Clark's life took an unexpected turn in 1919. He returned from World War I deaf in one ear and was counseled to live in a warm climate. In 1919, the Clarks visited Southern California, settling there permanently in 1920. Making his home in Pasadena, Clark traveled within the state, across the Southwest, and to Mexico. Immediately embraced by the Southern California art community, he was able to maintain a high profile locally and sustain his contacts nationwide with collectors, dealers, and museums. Although he was a cosmopolitan artist, teacher, and indefatigable traveler, Clark's life and work have thus far been obscured. Viewed as a "California artist" - an association that was significant but not exclusive - he was overlooked even as the popularity of American Impressionism amplified. With the recent surging interest in Impressionism in California - now being viewed as not only a local phenomenon but as part of the mainstream movement - Clark has emerged as one of its most notable practitioners. This book presents his work within an exploration of his time and his artistic and personal maturation, set against the backdrop of the years that bracket the centennial and World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
