The work and life of painter C. S. Price (1874-1950). Price was the son of ranchers and his early work depicts the animals and natural landscape of his youth. Price became a full-time artist and joined an artists’ colony in Monterey in 1918 and moved to Portland in 1929. In 1942, the Portland Art Museum gave Price his first retrospective exhibition and he was one of fourteen modernist artists honored in MOMA’s “Fourteen Americans” exhibition which included works from contemporaries Mark Tobey, Arshile Gorky, and Robert Motherwell. Today, Price is recognized as one of Oregon’s most notable and influential painters.
