Alfred Everett Orr was born in 1886 in New York City. By the age of ten he was painting landscapes and still lifes, which he sold to supplement the family income. He moved to California in 1904 to study at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, spending the next twenty years in the San Gabriel Valley area developing his style and exploring portraiture and illustration. During World War I he contributed several of his family portraits with various revisions to create propaganda posters, particularly in support of war bonds. He also painted six covers for The Saturday Evening Post from 1920 to 1921. In 1925 he met Sir Charles Higham, an English advertising executive who was on a publicity tour for the British Empire Exhibition. Higham became his principal representative for the rest of his working life, and when Orr learned of John Singer Sargent’s death Higham helped him move to London and rent Sargent’s studio on Tite Street to work out of. Orr spent several years traveling back and forth between London and Paris to continue his studies with various artists, but during World War II he was injured and traumatized during The Blitz and withdrew from the public eye. He died in total obscurity in 1962, with his legacy primarily in his oil paintings that are found in various museums throughout California, particularly those from his exhibitions at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition and the 1915 San Francisco World’s Fair, as well as large landscape pieces that are permanently displayed in the California State Capitol in Sacramento.
