Franz Bischoff, the great California Impressionist painter, was born on January 14, 1864, in Steinschonau, Austria. As a teenager he came to the United States and became a naturalized citizen. In 1906 he decided to move to Los Angeles, California and he built a studio and home in Pasadena. He was one of the earliest members of the California Art Club, and painted scenes of California, working outdoors, capturing the light and color of the California landscape with quick, elegant brushstrokes and simplified forms.
See below his painting "Arroyo Seco Bridge," painted 1912.
