HANSON DUVALL PUTHUFF
Enchanted Evening.

Oil on board. 300x400 mm; 11 7/8x15 3/4 inches. Signed in oil, lower right recto, and titled twice in pencil and white crayon, verso.

Puthuff (1875-1972) was born in Missouri. He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1900s and worked as a commercial artist, abandoning illustration in the mid-1920s to focus on painting. The majority of Puthuff's work, like this painting, are colorful representations of the Southern California deserts.
