With rare sensitivity and unflagging discipline, de Forest learned to record the light, the atmosphere and the contours of land and sea across an astonishing area of Earth. In 1902, he began wintering in Santa Barbara. In 1915, he moved there permanently. These are his paintings. They are back in Santa Barbara again after almost a hundred years."--Jacket.
