Excerpt from Guy Rose
It Is good for the disquieted soul to meet a painter who is an artist by every instinct in his nature, who is a thoroughly trained craftsman in his work, and who is modern without wild vagaries. A frank disciple of Monet and his school - in fact, he has lived and worked in Giverny, the home of Monet - Guy Rose shows in his canvases the tonic influence of these sincere students of plein-air. Like them, he paints the out-of-doors, its colors broken into beauty by brooding sunlight, caressing airs, and moving winds. Needless to say that he paints much in the "high key," which is the key of nature.
It has always seemed to me that the properly trained artist should be able to paint everything he sees that has the qualities of a picture. He should be alert to every impression of beauty, be it in a landscape shrouded in mist, a figure lighted by the sun, a row of huddled old houses, trees in the wind, a face, a piece of pottery. Any of these, and a thousand other things, may become the subject of a masterpiece of painting, for light has the power to make them all supremely beautiful - light and the painter.
Guy Rose is one of the all-round men. His mastery over his materials has kept pace with his eager interest in the multiform life that presented itself to him on every hand, and therefore you will find no monotony of subjects in the present showing - one of the most comprehensive and representative exhibitions ever held in Los Angeles.
