Deaf since the age of two, Redmond set out to paint silence and solitude in his contemplative Tonalist works yet infused his Impressionist scenes with drama and high color.

Granville Redmond

From moonlit coastal scenes to hillsides and meadows ablaze with poppies, Granville Redmond (American, 1871–1935) painted California in all its grand diversity. Deaf since the age of two (a result of scarlet fever), Redmond set out to paint silence and solitude in his contemplative Tonalist paintings, yet he infused his Impressionist works with gladness and a riot of color. Silent film star Charlie Chaplin, Redmond’s friend and supporter, said of these paintings, “Sometimes I think that the silence in which he lives has developed in him some sense, some great capacity for happiness in which we others are lacking.” Today, Redmond is considered one of California’s top early artists.
