Schoenmacher '66" The back retains original calling card of the famous Leonard Borman Studio in Joshua Tree, California. Mr. Norman was a world renowned AIC artist who painted and sold paintings in Pasadena California until the 1950s. The air quality in Pasadena CA in the 1920s, 30s & 40s was extremely poor due to smog and was causing Leonard great discomfort so they closed the store in 1955 and moved to the desert.
Years earlier the Bormans bought 20 acres with a cabin in the desert, near Joshua Tree, CA. Over the years they turned it into a comfortable home, studio, and art gallery. Leonard Borman painted, while his wife May framed pictures, and his patrons came to buy and place orders for the next 45 years.

This painting is one from this gallery. Not much is to be found from this artist (probably a local artist). It retains it's wonderful heavy hand carved solid wood frame. Please use photos as part of our description.
