Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977)

Tirage Gallery was proud to be one of the sponsors of "Who Is Sam? Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977)" at the Pasadena Museum of History earlier this year. This landmark exhibition was the first to explore Harris' life-long career, which spanned many different media and genres. Long considered a leader in the early California plein air movement, he was also known for his commercial work in the design of advertisements and posters for iconic Southern California industries such as Van de Kamp's Bakeries, and the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, and Santa Fe Railroads. The Harris Estate has graciously released several paintings for acquisition, which appear in the hard-bound color catalogue, Sam Hyde Harris, 1889-1977, A Retrospective.
