Biography photo for Hanson Duvall Puthuff
Photo submitted by Simon K. Chiu
Hanson Puthuff was born in 1875 in Waverly, Missouri.  He is primarily remembered for his California landscapes and desert paintings, and his involvement in the Southern California art world in the early 20th century.  His paintings of rolling hills, canyons, and atmospheric effects of Southern California, the Sierras, and desert scenes are widely admired.

Puthuff childhood was filled with both uncertainty and strife.  He was born to a struggling carpenter, Alonzo Augustus Duvall, and his wife, Mary Anne Lee.  When Puthuff was two, his mother died and he was given to the care of her close friend Elizabeth Stadley Puthuff, a young Civil War widow who supported herself as a seamstress.  She became his surrogate mother, and he later assumed her name. Puthuff remained close to her, with the exception of a period of eight years, when his father took him at age six to live with various relatives in Kentucky, and later with himself for a short time in Oklahoma.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 16951 characters.]  Artist bio
