C.S. Price: A Portrait chronicles the career of this important early Portland, Oregon modernist painter (1874-1950) who would emerge in the 1930s and '40s as a national figure and one of Oregon's most important and influential artists. Beginning his career as a Western illustrator, Price would move from Wyoming to Monterey, California in the 1910s and '20s where he encountered Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings. In 1929 he moved to Portland, Oregon, and during the next two decades, his work would reflect modern European art, including German Expressionist painting, as well as his own brand of American modernism. In this lavishly illustrated book, author Roger Saydack chronicles Price's career over a fifty year period and attempts to place his work within the broader context of twentieth century American and Pacific Northwest art.
Roger Saydack is a retired Eugene, Oregon attorney, professor, and collector who has maintained a lifelong interest in the visual arts. Over the years, he has curated exhibitions and written articles on the Oregon artists David McCosh, Anne Kutka McCosh, Nelson Sandgren, and C.S. Price, among others. C.S. Price: A Portrait is the culmination of Saydack's fifty year study of the artist.
