Speegle, “The Last of the 49’ers” (over 90 years of age) and others.

Her paintings are in the collections of the late Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and her scenic and flower oil paintings grace the walls of lovely homes and art galleries all over the Western world. A painter of the California and Southwestern desert, Orpha Klinker had a long list of accomplishments as a Los Angeles artist, and was also a recognized portrait, historical and pioneer genre painter. She was of German and English heritage and was born in Fairfield, Iowa, and then lived briefly on a 360 acre farm near New Sharon. Growing up in that area, she loved the desert country and took an interest in the history and traditions of California. She had early art talent, which was encouraged by her mother. Orpha began her career cutting silhouettes for the May Company in Los Angeles when she was 12 years old, and then went into furniture ad art with her work appearing in many newspaper advertisements. She studied at the U. Art School and Cannon Art School and with Paul Lauritz and Anna Althea Hills, her first private teacher. She also became an art teacher, did silhouettes of movie stars, and created “Betty Bobbs” paper dolls. She attended the Julian and Colarossi Academies in Paris, went to New York and did illustration, and then to Philadelphia where she worked for the Ladies Home Journal. Returning to the West, she pursued through her art her combined interests in the desert and history. Her family became a part of this history, owning the Klinker Building, regarded as the first skyscraper Los Angeles. She did a series of portraits and talks titled “Speaking of Pioneers, ” and her research led her far afield into deserts of California, Utah, and Arizona where she painted the Grand Canyon. One of her portraits was of the last of the “49ers, ” Emanuel Speegle. She also did a series of historical scenes on china plates, now collectors’ items and in 1939 designed the official seal of Los Angeles county. She did etchings of the desert, her chief source of inspiration. She was a member of the California Art Club and the Women Painters of the West. Her studio was in her home atop the Hollywood Hills, and she worked for preservation causes including saving the stone home of Charles Lummis, noted writer and founder of the Southwest Museum.

Born in Fairfield, IA on Nov. 20, 1891, she and other members of the Klinker family moved to San Bernardino, CA when Orpha was a child. After graduating from Polytechnic High School, she studied art at UCLA, Cannon Art School, and continued in Paris at Académies Julian and Colarossi. After a year abroad, she worked in New York and Philadelphia before returning to California in 1925. She was married briefly to Wm Ooley (1921-23) and Cliff Carpenter (1932-36).

The Manhattan Beach Art Center will launch this weekend a new virtual exhibit featuring the work of two major local artists. The exhibit is titled “Rediscovered: The Life and Art of AC Conner and Eva Joseph Goldsheid, ” and explores the importance both artists had on Manhattan Beach culture. The work featured in the two-month exhibit spans the artists’ collective 120 years in Manhattan Beach. An online gallery and video presentation of the exhibition will go up on the city’s website at 6 p. Visiting the exhibit in person is not possible at the moment because the art center is closed to the public because of the coronavirus pandemic. Conner was born in Indiana in 1848. Conner was inspired by regionalism, an offshoot of landscape painting. As he trekked west, ultimately on his way to California, he painted national landmarks like the Grand Canyon. Connor eventually set roots in Manhattan Beach to further pursue his love of painting and nature. But he was also Manhattan Beach’s first city treasurer. He helped build the foundation of the city’s local government. But beyond that, he also created clubs and opportunities for musicians and artists to gather and share their craft with one another. He exhibited his work throughout Los Angeles County so people could experience the region’s nature even if they weren’t able to visit it personally. Conner died in 1929. Eva Joseph Goldsheid, meanwhile, was born in 1926 in Germany. In 1938, when she was 12 years old, Goldsheid and her mother – who were Jewish – escaped Nazi Germany and fled to New York. Once in the United States, Goldsheid fulfilled her dream of becoming a successful artist. She was influenced by the abstract expressionism movement and her personal style was steeped in self-expression. Goldsheid influenced generations of artists, teaching classes in Manhattan Beach until she died in 2017. The exhibit will run from Friday, Jan. 22, to March 21. He art center, however, will have the paintings up on its walls in case the pandemic wanes and it can reopen before the exhibit ends, said Eilen Stewart, the city’s acting manager for the Cultural Arts Division. Sometime circa 1909 Albert Clinton Conner stepped off a train into a fledgling little development called Manhattan Beach. Further down the rails, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach were already booming beach towns, but the scraggly sandswept environs of Manhattan Beach – dominated by a large series of dunes forming a crest through the middle of the settlement – had made it less desirable for prospective homeowners. It wouldn’t become incorporated as a city for another three years. But “Pops, ” as Conner was known, didn’t have a problem with dusty places. He was patternmaker, inventor, and artist; he was attracted to new frontiers. He’d spent most of his 61 years in Indiana. He was a self-taught Impressionist painter of some acclaim who, along with his brother, Charles, had founded the Rambler’s Sketch Club, which metamorphosed into the renowned Richmond Art Group. Richmond was a small and surprisingly art-minded little city in the flatlands of eastern Indiana. 12,000 at the time Conner lived on its outskirts, was the seat Wayne County and the first place a motion picture was ever shown to an audience, home to one of the first jazz record labels in history (Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust” was originally recorded there), and the smallest community in the United States to have supported a professional opera company and symphony orchestra. Conner moved to Los Angeles in 1887. He was one of the founders of the California Painters Club and served as its first president in 1906. The club would later become the California Art Club, one of the oldest organizations of its kind still extant, and its early shows featured Conner’s work. In fact, his paintings of Manhattan Beach would be the first sight many people ever had of the town. At one point, almost every painter from the Rambler’s Sketch Club had a reunion in Los Angeles. Manhattan Beach became one of their favorite subjects. “‘Our friends in Richmond wouldn’t believe that we travel 27 miles to sketch, and return the same day,'” remarked Conner to his mates, according to a 1911 Los Angeles Times story. Conner was increasingly drawn to the wild beauty of the little beach community, as were his compatriots. “They rented a bungalow at Manhattan Beach, and every day sallied forth to sketch together, as they used to do 30 years ago, ” the Los Angeles Times reported. Finally, Conner and his family relocated to the beach. When the city incorporated in 1912, he was elected its first treasurer. “He was a founder of Manhattan Beach, ” said Martin Betz, the city’s cultural arts manager. It’s interesting that art is in Manhattan Beach before the surfers, or volleyball. Beach volleyball probably wasn’t even invented yet in 1912. Conner was also friends with William Wendt, considered “the dean of of Southern California landscape painters” and one of the key players in establishing Laguna Beach as an artistic hub. Betz believes that Laguna’s more tame natural environment played a role in its becoming a gathering point for artists, relative to the unruliness of Manhattan Beach. “What happened – this is my theory – is Manhattan Beach was so sandy at that time, it was really hard to paint outside, because sand can really mess up paint, ” Betz said. Laguna Beach didn’t have sand in the same way – it’s a canyon there, really not much sand, just a river entering the sea. A century later, Manhattan Beach intends to change that narrative. A public arts initiative is underway. Betz is spearheading the effort, and the current City Council has taken an aggressive, arts-forward stance. Among the projects underway are a sculpture garden, the installation of 15 to 20 murals throughout the city, wraparound art on utility boxes, and a grants program meant to fund small scale art projects at local schools and elsewhere in the community – things such as dance performances at Joslyn or Heights Community Centers, theater productions at Mira Costa High School, and exhibits in restaurants and coffee houses. The goal is nothing less than to transform Manhattan Beach into one of the focal points for art in the region. I think we’ve gotten nowhere for far too long. I’ve said it for years: we should be the Florence of Southern California. Mayor Amy Howorth shares that vision. Like Napolitano and Betz, she believes public art should be a focal point, but also only a starting point. “We are world famous for beaches and surf culture and beach volleyball, ” Howorth said. These are are great, healthy, wonderful things to do, but we should also be known for our writers and screenwriters. We have thought leaders here, and artists, business leaders and design innovators. We are a very special place and I want us to be as proud of these other types of culture as we are about sports. This initiative that Martin is spearheading is a really big part of that. I think Steve and I both feel we don’t always have to make a grand gesture about art. It can be art that you just happen upon, and it doesn’t have to be conventional forms of art. Conner, who had almost been forgotten locally, will be the subject of a semi-permanent exhibit featuring nine of his paintings at City Hall. Bridges, who was asked to do the renderings by City Councilperson Richard Montgomery but whose project will likely need to go through a Request for Proposal process, said he saw it as an opportunity for Manhattan Beach to reclaim its own art.
