Description

VERY BEAUTIFUL "ANTELOPE VALLEY" by Granville Seymour REDMOND (1871-1935) Framed oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left "32". On the back on canvas, localized, dated 1932 and marked "With Love Granville Redmond". A 1971 Russian facsimile of the work by the "Ministry of Culture of the USSR" accompanies it. Provenance: Private collection. Size: 32 x 40 cm Granville Redmond was born on March 9, 1871 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Around the age of two and a half, he contracted scarlet fever, which left him deaf. He attended the California School for the Deaf from 1879 to 1890, where he discovered his artistic talents thanks to his teacher Théophile d'Estrella, who taught him painting, drawing and pantomime. After graduating, he decided to continue studying art and enrolled at the San Francisco School of Design, where he worked for three years with professors Arthur Frank Mathews and Amédée Joullin. There he met artists such as Gottardo Piazzoni and Giuseppe Cadenasso. He became close friends with Piazzoni, who learned American Sign Language. They lived together in Parkfield and Tiburon, California. During his stay in Los Angeles, he befriended Charles Chaplin, who asked him to teach him signs and pantomime. In fact, he used some of these signs, such as "enfant" and "bébé", in the film "Une vie de chien". Thanks to Granville, Chaplin became one of the few actors to act with his mouth closed, without uttering any words. He appears in seven Chaplin films. Impressed by Redmond's skills as a painter, Chaplin collected his paintings and offered him a studio in his film studios, as well as silent roles, such as the sculptor in "City Lights".
