Released in conjunction with the traveling exhibition organized by the Pasadena Museum of California Art, Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey presents more than 125 reproductions of Paynes paintings, drawings, and decorative arts, as well as rarely seen photographs from the artists travels and selections from his personal collection of compositional studies. His unending quest to convey the unspeakably sublime in his landscapes won him widespread acclaim-one prominent critic called him a poet who sings in colors. In Europe he rendered the towering peaks of the Alps and the colorful harbors of France and Italy. His majestic, vital landscapes, informed by his reverence for the natural world, are imbued with an internal force and an active dynamism.Īn avid traveler, Payne was among the first painters to capture the vigor of the Sierra Nevada, and his travels through the Southwest resulted in equally magnificent depictions of the desert. Largely self-taught, he found inspiration and instruction in nature itself. While his contemporaries favored a quieter, more idyllic representation of the natural landscape, Payne was devoted to subjects of rugged beauty.
