| Description: INV # 1014 Called a Living Treasure of California art, John Dominique began his career as a typesetter and cartoonist for a small newspaper. He attended the California Art School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied with early California painter Perham Wilhelm Nahl and went to lectures by artist/art historian Eugene Neuhaus. In 1975, he developed a hemorrhage in one eye that proved untreatable, and soon thereafter, the same problem affected his other eye. This left him with severely damaged eyesight and legally blind. Undeterred, he continued to paint his abstracts daily, having friends assist him in purchasing paint and arranging them in a certain order on his work bench. A member of the California Watercolor Society, he was prolific in painting exhibited widely until his death at 100. |
