"Known for watercolor paintings that depict people in their environmentand associated with the California Style of regional painting, OliveBarker was born in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in Omaha, Nebraska.She studied at the Paris branch of the New York School of Fine andApplied Art and at the Oberlin, Ohio Conservatory of Music. Returning toOmaha, she became a pupil of J. Laurie Wallace and met her husband,George Edmund Barker, while taking classes from Wallace.
GEORGE BARKER (1882-1965)
by Nancy Dustin Wall Moure
---------------------------------------------------------------------
George Barker, painter and art teacher, is the latest artist to berediscovered in the study of Southern California's plein air landscapemovement of the early twentieth century. Son of an Omaha real estateinvestor and broker, Barker studied in his hometown with painter/sculptorJohn Laurie Wallace (1864-1953). When it came time for advanced traininghe asked permission of Wallace's teacher, Philadelphia artist ThomasEakins (1844-1916), to study with him. Because Eakins was not teachingpublicly in 1906, Barker ended up in Paris. Although the city was ahotbed of avant garde experimentalists (these are the years Cubism wasborn) Barker spent his year at the conservative Grande Chaumiere and theColorossi School under Andre L'hote and Edwin Scott where he learnedsound drawing skills and loosened, expressive brushwork.After his return in 1911, Barker "settled down," marrying fellow Omahaartist Olive Carpenter, daughter of a paper manufacturer (who he met inWallace's art classes) and taking up art teaching. In 1921, with Americaenjoying nationwide post-War prosperity, Barker moved his family (thatnow included a son) to Long Beach California. In 1923 he appears in thePolytechnic High School yearbook Caerulea as one of three art teachersand remains on the faculty through 1929.
Long Beach, adjacent to the port of Los Angeles was booming. And,although the beach city did not obtain an art museum until decades later,an art community was beginning to take shape. The Long Beach ArtAssociation came into being in 1924, and art exhibitions were heldregularly at the Public Library in the Main and Alamitos branches, at theMunicipal Auditorium, at the Villa Riviera and at various women's clubs.Art activities sped up in the late 1920s when the city hosted the PacificSouthwest Exposition in 1928 that had its own art gallery and when thePress Telegram ran an art column written by Alice Maynard Griggs and inits Rotogravure section occasionally reproduced portraits of artists andtheir paintings. Art organizations that formed in the late 1920s includethe Spectrum Club (for men artists) in 1929 and the Wayside Art Colony (acluster of studios for craftsmen) c. 1930. One of the most activeadvocates of art was Josephine E. Hyde, Art Chairman of the city'sRecreation
Commission who organized frequent shows of California artists at theRecreation Park Clubhouse and founded the Women's Sketch Club (possiblythe same as the Recreation Commission Sketch Club) before 1930.
At Polytechnic High School Barker supervised graphic arts. Photographs inthe Caerulea show him to be a small man, nattily dressed in light coloredsuits wearing round glasses, looking more like an accountant than anartist. Barker also led an active private art career. He maintained astudio in Long Beach, exhibited in the first exhibition of the Long BeachArt Association in July 1924, contributed to most of the city's groupexhibitions, and occasionally was honored with one man shows. Hisspecialty was landscape, and titles of paintings show he traveled widelyaround the Southland for subjects.
In 1929 the Barkers seem to have come into money. When the rest of thecountry was reeling from the stock market crash, George Barker quit histeaching job, and he and Olive went on an extended European tour. Ontheir return they settled in Pacific Palisades, a new luxury community onthe cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean immediately north of SantaMonica, where they built a large home and one studio on Alma Real Drive.(A second studio was erected for George in the fall of 1934.) ThePalisades were still sparsely built during these years, and Barker andhis artist neighbor Hugo Ballin(1879-1956) were slowly joined over thedecade by a few other artists, primarily motion picture people who couldafford the area. The lack of artists makes it clear why Barker attachedhimself artistically to the older and more artistically activeneighboring community of Santa Monica where he started and was firstpresident of the Santa Monica Art Association in 1929. Through the 1930snotices frequently appear on the couple in the local newspaper Palisadianeither in regard to the exhibition of their paintings in various showsaround the Los Angeles basin or to the events that they sponsored attheir home to raise funds for various interests such as the Santa Monicaphilharmonic, a republican candidate, and the American-Japan studentconference of 1937. Barker was an advocate of the Santa Monica MountainsProtective Association and lectured passionately against fires thatdestroyed it.
The 1930s were a rich time artistically for both Barkers. While theystill occasionally exhibited in Long Beach, they joined many Los Angelesproper art organizations and exhibited annually with the California ArtClub. (Olive Barker, who developed a unique 'thin paper' technique forher watercolors in which the paper is crinkled to give added texture tothe painting, also exhibited with the California Water Color Society.)George's prime subject was landscapes of Southern California found fromLaguna Beach to the
Palisades on the Pacific Coast and extending to the deserts alongCalifornia's eastern border. Prior to the late 1920s, California' s hotand inhospitable deserts only attracted artists who were loners ormavericks or who needed the dry air to cure tuberculosis or some otherailment. But as the greater Los Angeles basin lost its virgin hills tofarms, towns and residential developments, artists were forced furtheronto the periphery. New roads, especially those built by federal reliefprojects in the 1930s opened up the deserts to the newly popularautomobile, and it became fashionable to make excursions after the springrains to view the wildflowers. Resorts began to develop at places likePalm Springs, which became a playground for Hollywood personalities.
Goldfield Galleries owns several hundred oil-on-canvasboard sketches,most measuring 10 x 12 in., that Barker made between c. 1930 and hisdeath. 1. The reverse of many are inscribed in pencil with the place anddate showing us that he ranged widely over California's southern deserts.2 Several of these bear the name Corona, a rural town east of Los Angeleswhere the Barkers had a ranch home and did much of their work; others areof nearby Temescal. From there Barker could fan out over four majorroutes that penetrated the deserts. By going south on highway 71 he couldreach the Borrego Desert east of San Diego. By taking former Route 66(current day Interstate 15) north out of San Bernardino he could reachBaldy Mesa, Victorville, and Barstow in the Mojave desert, placesinscribed on his paintings. From Barstow, taking old US 91-466 towardsLas Vegas, he could access the road into Death Valley.
Eastward from Corona ran US 60-70 (current Interstate 10) from which hecould get State 111 to Palm Springs or go directly to Indio. From Indiohe could take US 99 south towards the Mexican border passing other sitesat which he painted including Mecca, Painted Canyon and ChocolateMountains.
Barker camped on most of these sketching trips. Some seem to have beenmade with the Spectrum Club, the group of men painters of Long Beach. Oneparticular notation on the reverse of an undated sketch informs us of hisequipment: 2 bedrolls, 5 blankets (3 army, 1 double gray trim, 1 single),center pole lower, 1 tent and stakes, tripod, large umbrella, 2 extensionpoles, 2 stools (folding), one 16 x 20 in. paint box, 1 pair high shoes,tan, 1 gal coal oil, tools-nails, 2 sweaters back of seatfront, 1 gunnysack with tools, mosquito netting front, old smock, red ... pillow, rags,1 wash basin, first aid (.. films, soda...), camera, mirror. He appearsto be proud that his landscapes were painted on the spot since the factis mentioned in some reviews of his shows.
Most of his trips were made in April and May with sometimes a desert tripin January or February.
Barker canvases are so rare that in the last ten years at auction lessthan ten have appeared. The several hundred sketches owned by GoldfieldGalleries give us a first- hand view, like sketches by any
artist, of Barker's artistic goals. He seemed interested in capturingmoods and colors and general contours of terrain with quick and broadsweeps of the brush. As a camper he was privy to a wide range ofatmospheric conditions from extraordinarily colorful sunrises andsunsets, to haze caused by dust storms, to incredible clarity after rainand wind. In the later 1930s some of his landscape sketches take onunnatural colors implying he is experimenting with modernist colortheories. Besides landscapes, Barker painted several abstract,Kandinsky-like paintings composed of floating lozenges, circles,rectangles, egg shapes, arcs, and parallel wavy lines, whose colors rangefrom mauves offset with blue and yellow to silver and green offset withyellow and pink. During the war years Barker, then 58, taught art torecouperating soldiers at the Veterans Administration Hospital inSepulveda, and he seems to have curtailed his sketching trips since nosketches exist with dates of 1941, 1942 or 1943. In the last seven or soyears of Barker' s life dated still lifes and monochromatic landscapessuggest that he was doing most of his work in the studio.The Barkers had one son, George Barker Jr. who probably attendedPolytechnic High in Long Beach when Barker taught there, and, after thefamily moved to the Palisades, went to the nearby University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles (whose ground had only been broken in the mid1920s). In spring 1935 he was invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, spent agraduate year (Fall 1935-Spring 1936) at Columbia University in New Yorkstudying journalism, and the following summer obtained a job on the SantaMonica Outlook. Having predeceased his parents, in 1958 the Barkersestablished the George Carpenter Barker Memorial Prayer Garden at theEpiscopal St. Matthews Church in Pacific Palisades . [note: sadly thechurch and grounds were destroyed in a fire in 1878]
Much has yet to be learned about both George and Olive Barker. To dateeach seems to have maintained his/her own artistic integrity: Georgeemphasizing landscapes and teaching while Olive painted in watercolor andpreferred figures and still lifes to landscapes. More research definitelyneeds to be done, but this first study shows they deserve a place inSouthern California art history.
