The following information is provided by Frances Baggett of Huntington Beach, California, who is writing a biography of this artist.

From Santa Anna, California where he died in 1976, John Orth was one of the last in that area to paint in the style of the Old Masters. Late in his life, he adopted a gothic style. His forte was portraiture of well known persons that included Winston Churchill, Charles Laughton, and Albert Einstein.

He was originally from Bavaria and migrated to the United States in 1923. He and his wife Didi led very interesting lives, and she served as the model for most of his figure paintings.

Orth studied at the Nuremberg College of Fine Arts in Bavaria; the Julian Academy in Paris, and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.   ...  [Displaying 771 of 6079 characters.]  Artist bio
