August Gay

Many of August Gay's oils were painted on cigar box tops and small segments of artboard. His wonderful depictions of the Monterey Wharf, of the Carmel Valley, coastal scenes, and the fishing fleet of Monterey Bay were inspired by the Cubists in form and by the Fauvists in bold and colorful planes of colors. Gay's high level of art began to receive national recognition in the 1950s.
The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Gay utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.
