Emrich Nicholson was born in Indiana and moved to southern California at an early age. He won the blue ribbon at the county fair for his first oil painting at age 12. Nicholson graduated from Yale University with a degree in fine arts in 1936 and began his career as a textile designer. In 1939, he was selected to design rugs, glass doors, souvenir books, and pennants for the 1939 New York World’s Fair and gained recognition from New York’s Museum of Modern Art. His work also was featured in Vogue, the New Yorker, and Time magazines. In 1941, Nicholson began experimenting with a new art form that became ‘Enforta Glass”, created with a unique glass-art fusion process. After World War II, Nicholson went to Hollywood and became the art director for Paramount and Universal Studios and produced artistic ads for large corporations. Nicholson retired in 1965 and moved to Hawaii where he focused on oil paintings inspired by the Puako area. This painting is a rare example of Nicholson's earlier work and a unique opportunity to acquire one of his paintings.
