12x9 inches, oil on panel, by listed California artist, Harold Stephenson (1907-1974). Painted in about 1965.Doe-eyed, sad little girl with an Easter bonnet.
Harold Stephenson was a California painter
who was known for his formal portraits of Hollywood
notables and as later as a painter of stylized scenes of children and
post-Atomic ruins in the early 1960 s.
Stephenson was born in Bellefontaine, Ohio in 1907 and he left Ohio
as a young man to study at the Art Student s League and the National Academy of
Design in New York and later at the Ecole des
Beaux Arts in Paris.
During World War II, Stephenson was a combat artist with the United States
Army and he painted on Guadalcanal and in 1942
and during some of the other island campaigns. Some of his work resides in the
Pentagon and in the Collection of the United States Army.
After the War, Stephenson settled in Hollywood
where he worked for the studios and painted portraits for the Hollywood
elite. In the early 1960 s, he began painting a series of painting of waif-like
children among fanciful ruins, reflecting his anxiety over nuclear war. These
scenes of children were very successful and were published as popular prints.
Stephenson was also active as a teacher, opening his Benedict Canyon Studio for
students several days a week. In recent years his work has been re-discovered
by young rock and roll musicians who are ardently collecting the art and
furniture of the early 1960 s.
