About the artist:
Born in Ukiah Feb 25 1903, he showed his interest in cartooning at a very
early age. One of his cartoons appeared in the old Ukiah Republican Press
when he was nine years old.
His love for the sailing schooners he served on as a young man inspired him
to do a series of paintings on the vessels. McClure's work has been favorably received on both the East and West Coast, and a number of his paintings hang in the Maritime Museum in San Francisco.
He studied at a cartoon school in San Francisco and the California School of
Fine Arts. Instructors included Maynard Dixon, Harold Von Schmidt and
Clarence Mackey, leading artists of the day.
At the age of 17, he began his love affair with the sea, taking his first
voyage on the Annie Johnson, destined for Hawaii. At 19 he shipped out for
the East Coast aboard the freighter, Artiagas, and worked up and down the
coast until friends were instrumental in getting him a job as an apprentice
cartoonist with Hearst's King Features. He was with the newspaper for 37
years. Thirty-one were spent drawing the Annie Rooney cartoon.
McClure’s work is held in numerous collections nationwide, many paintings are on display at the Kelley House, Mendocino, Mateo, NC,the San Juan Islands and the San Francisco Yacht Club.
Darell McClure died in Ukiah in 1984 less
