Maurice Braun (1877-1941)

Already a well-known portrait painter before he moved to San Diego from New York at the turn of the century, National Academician Maurice Braun's palette lightened, as did his brushwork, under the influence of Southern California's light and atmosphere. He quickly became the most nationally-acclaimed name in San Diego art, and opened an art school, where Alfred Mitchell became perhaps his most famous student.
