LILACS & DOGWOOD by Paul DeLongpre (Am., c1895)
A much nicer Floral Art Print than this jpg shows.
Born in Lyon, France in 1855 into an aristocratic family of little means. De Longpre began drawing flowers as a young child and at age 12 was earning a living painting them on fans for a firm in Paris. At age 21 he exhibited at the Paris Salon and was well known in Paris before immigrating to New York City in 1890. A successful exhibition in 1896 established his international reputation and financial freedom. In 1898 he and his family moved to Los Angeles where he built a palatial Mission-Moorish home on the corner of Cahuenga & Hollywood Boulevard. It was a tourist attraction which attracted 25,000 visitors annually.
An expert floriculturalist, his three-acre garden held 4,000 rose bushes from which he derived much of his subject matter. A street in Hollywood is named for the artist called "Le Roi des Fleurs." Exhibited : New York, 1896; San Francisco,1894; Blanchard Gallery, Los Angeles, 1900; Hoover Gallery, Hollywood, 1913.
