- Lot Description
Ernest John Sweetland (American, 1880-1950) oil on board, 1939. Signed and dated "Sweetland 1939" at lower left. A mid-century painting by inventor turned artist Ernest John Sweetland (see more on his biography in the extended description below), depicting a female nude lounging on the beach - perhaps in Hawaii or another Polynesian setting - with palm fronds blowing in the breeze before her. Wearing nothing but a garland of tropical flowers in her hair, the woman assumes a pose that reveals virtually every curve of her voluptuous body, while basking in the glow of the moonlight. Size: 29.5" W x 23.625" H (74.9 cm x 60 cm)
A label on the verso reads, "Born in Carson City, NV on May 26, 1880. an inventor by profession, Sweetland's most famous creations were the oil filter for the automobile, electrical timer, and electric eye. In 1929 he hired architect Frederick Reimers to built for him a 45-room Tudor-style mansion in the hills of Piedmont near Oakland. By the 1930s Sweetland had taken up painting and had an office in San Francisco. He died there on Nov. 15, 1950. Exh: Bohemian Club, 1935-46; Society for Sanity in Art, CPLH, 1939-42.
CF: Hughes, Artists in California, 546.
