About the artist:
Born in NYC on Oct. 2, 1894. As a child Sara Kolb was taught to paint by her father who was an artist and student of Thomas Eakins. She grew up in Philadelphia where in 1917 she wed William Danner. The Danners moved from South Bend, IN to Santa Barbara in 1926 and remained.
She studied under Henry Snell at the PAFA (the Sara Kolb Danner Theatre there is named for her), Philadelphia School of Design for Women, Massachusetts Normal Art School under George L. Noyes, CCAC, Stanford University (1938), and UC Santa Barbara (1956).
Her early work depicts Pennsylvania mining towns and some city views. After settling in southern California, she turned her brush to the beauty of the local landscape. Her style was greatly influenced by Cezanne and the French Impressionists. Mrs. Danner also wrote poetry which appeared regularly in The Saturday Review. The Stanford Press published a book combining her paintings and poetry entitled Gallery Tour in 1952. A one-woman show in Santa Barbara in 1942 was held over an extra month due to its popularity. The same year a painting called "Eucalyptus" won first prize at the annual show of the Women Painters of the West. In 1943 her painting "Second Grade" took best of show honors at the largest WPW show held to that time (at the Los Angeles Museum).
Following her husband's death she wed Edward L. Campbell. She died at her home in Santa Barbara on Jan. 5, 1969.
