"Hanson Puthuff was known for his plein air landscape paintings of California and Arizona.
Puthuff was born in Waverly, Missouri, the son of a struggling carpenter named Alonzo Duvall. Upon his mother's death when he was two years old, Hanson was given to the care of his mother's close friend, Elizabeth Puthuff, a Civil War widow who supported herself as a seamstress. Puthuff raised him until age six and then again from age fourteen on, the intervening years having been spent in the care of various relatives in Kentucky. He remained close with his foster mother and later took her name.
Puthuff attended classes at the Chicago Art Institute before Elizabeth and he moved to Colorado in 1889. In 1893, he enrolled in the art school at the University of Denver and later studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He worked for a time as a commercial artist in Peoria before returning to Denver where he found work as a sign painter for an advertising firm. In 1903, Puthuff moved to Los Angeles and took jobs painting signs, billboards, and scenic backdrops. He later went to work for the billboard giants, Foster & Kleiser.
Throughout his commercial career, Puthuff did easel painting on the side and also taught private art classes. When he moved to California he was most interested in figure painting, but his love for California's majestic scenery led him to focus almost exclusively on plein air landscapes. In 1926, Puthuff decided to leave commercial art in favor of easel painting. He traveled extensively around the state and accompanied Edgar Payne on painting trips to Canyon de Chelly and the Navajo Reservation. His first large commission was from The Santa Fe Railway which sent him to paint views of the Grand Canyon. He created backdrops for habitat exhibits at the Los Angeles County of History, Science, and Art, and for the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Puthuff exhibited throughout California as well as in Chicago and New York. He won medals at Alaska-Yukon Exposition in 1909 and the Panama-California Exposition in 1915. He held memberships in the Laguna Beach Art Association, the Salmagundi Club, the San Francisco Art Association, and was a founding member of the California Art Club.

This artists work is like a patchwork on canvas. Bold assertive with brush strokes and utterly convincing.
Hanson Puthuff is one of the early California Impressionists of the late 19th and early 20th century. His art documents the beauty of the once pristine, unsullied landscape of Southern California, and other locations, from mountains, and deserts, to seashores. It is artists like him who remind us of things of beauty once abundant that are now lost forever, in our modern "progressive" world. For that reason alone, we should be grateful for his wonderful body of work, as evidence of what natural beauty we have squandered over the last hundred plus years. .....and to hopefully work to preserve what little is left of it.
He is also an artist few have heard of before, and, when seeing this awesome work, we can't help but ask "what in the world happened to bury and replace their beautiful art". The same can be said of many of his classically trained contemporaries of the American Impressionist school of art, like Edgar Payne, for example. Then you must recall that at the time they were working in the early twentieth century, "modern art" was beginning to take hold and uglify the art scene. And, unfortunately, that "artistic pestilence" still continues today!!
As always, thank you Dane for taking the time to bring to us such an amazing and large collection of art. Please continue to share with us, we appreciate your efforts so much!!.❤
Not a single painting that I didn’t like. Outstanding work.

Прекрасная живопись,горы,вот это ГОРЫ, всё дышит жизнью!!!
Loved the artist work. Really emotional feelings with such beautiful sense of light
Completely agree, Darcy! That's what I admire most about the early California impressionists. Their ability to capture light and atmosphere is extremely inspiring to me!
Thank you!
Love his work ! Thank you for the inspiration !
You're welcome, Jennifer! I love the work of the early California impressionists! Hanson Puthuff is definitely one of my favorites!
if it should be said in humble language, it welcomes and ecourages even a humble artist like me.
Can you also introduce the best marine artists or seascape painters ? Thanks .
While I'm not familiar with many marine painters, I will do my best! Thank you for watching!
It has a 1940's feel about it.
I find these works a bit monotonous both subject wise and colour wise. Some are nice but most lack a bit of punch and sophistication.
Wow thanks, awesome art ! not that crap there trying to pass off as art today, scribbles of incomprehensible conceptual nonsense.
Absolutely agree!! I'm glad there are still artists that appreciate representational art rather than the horrendous conceptual art we unfortunately have today! Thanks for watching!
