Linda de Curtis"Lake Tahoe"
1975
This is an incredible original oil on stretched canvas titled "Lake Tahoe" by Italian-American artist Linda de Curtis. Linda was born in Naples, Italy in 1924. She came from a family of artists. Her father was a professor at the Academy of Arts in Naples which Linda attended during WW2. After the war she worked for the U.S. Air Force as an
interpreter where she met her husband. In the 1950's she and her husband
moved to California and settled in Lake Tahoe in 1958. She had a gallery for her work first at the South Shore and then at Round Hill in 1966 which she ran for about 30 years. This painting is from this period. She is often referred to as Tahoe's "Grand Dame" and legend of painting Lake Tahoe.
De Curtis has a very large body of work of the High Sierra including Yosemite but is best known for her paintings of Lake Tahoe. These paintings are in all seasons and lighting. This is a very large piece. Canvas measures 24" by 36". Brilliant Lake Tahoe blues dominate. Frame measures 31" by 43" and is original, wood with black velvet liner. It presents the painting very nicely. Linda has a large following including many celebrity collectors.
