Arthur Best was born in Mount Pleasanton, Canada in 1859. He and his brothers were musicians who formed a band, with Arthur playing the clarinet. In 1895, when the band broke up, the brothers immigrated to San Francisco where Arthur met his wife, Alice Leveque Best, and established the Best Art School on California Street. One of the prominent early 20th-century landscape painters in Northern California, Arthur Best was especially known for his paintings of the Grand Canyon, Arizona desert, and Sierra Nevada mountains. He became a staff artist for the San Francisco Examiner in 1904, and in 1905 was commissioned by the Southern Pacific Railroad to paint pictures of the Southwest and Mexico. Tragically, many of his paintings were destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906, making his works more difficult to find. He died in Oakland in January 1935.
