HISTORIC REFERENCE SOURCES

The page provides a list of the most prominent authorities providing Biographic, Pictorial, and Collections information about the art history of 'Early California Painters' – an era defined by a substantial number of PSA Members. These artists were born in the Nineteenth Century and were most prolific from late 1800s -1940. Our Former Member profiles often incude text and images supplied by the people and organizations listed below, and we thank them sincerely for helping us create a record of our heritage.

We welcome information about the art and lives of our Former Members, and encourage visits to these impressive websites.

Society Members created art specifically designed for, or collected by, local government buildings, institutions and private collections in the San Gabriel Valley and greater southern California that are not listed here, but often noted in the artist profiles.
