Recreating Nature With Paint

Artist Albert Thomas DeRome’s ties to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History by Steve Hauk

Steve Hauk, co-owner with his wife Nancy of Hauk Fine Arts in Pacific Grove, is a documentary film writer and playwright.

Artist Albert Thomas DeRome had a distinguished career which in-

spired other painters and the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.Annie Holdren, museum curator of ex-hibitions, says there is a strong DeRome connection to its current exhibition of contemporary landscapes because De Rome ``documented the region’s land-scapes with an eye toward recreating authentic habitats for (the museum’s) exhibit case backgrounds,’’ or dioramas.The juried exhibition, ``Central Coast Landscapes: Celebrating Nature in Painting,’’ runs through April 5th at the museum.DeRome, who was born in 1885, suf-fered injuries serious enough to destroy any career. In 1904 he was ``electrocut-ed’’ and severely crippled during an art college initiation hazing that made San Francisco news for its brutality. In 1931 he was involved in a head-on auto col-lision on Highway 101, suffering partial paralysis.

He would never drive again.DeRome and his wife Martha eventu-ally settled in Pacific Grove and the art-ist, though in great pain, began painting again. He began with small pieces. As he grew stronger, DeRome created big-ger paintings. For the museum he did three dioramas, one of which Holdren describes as his largest known land-scape.The late Walter A. Nelson-Rees, an im-portant geneticist and art scholar, wrote a book on the artist, ``Albert Thomas DeRome, 1885-1959.’’ The book, with its many DeRome landscapes, is highly sought by art collectors.`DeRome’s paintings capture land-scapes at the place and time he paint-ed,’’ says Holdren. ``They are an invalu-able record.’’DeRome, despite his disabilities, be-came a highly regarded California Im-pressionist for his work capturing Pa-cific Grove and the Monterey Bay area.

When you are in a place so beauti-ful it can take your breath away,

its good to have a place to sit. The City of Pacific Grove offers nearly 250 public benches to sit and soak in the view. The majority of these benches hold the names of loved ones and sentiments of friends and family. Over the past few decades the waiting list for memorial benches has grown and the City has been out in the field identifying new locations for future benches.

Soon, we may hold the world’s record for public benches with a great view!

There are 25 memorial benches in Cale-donia Park alone. Along the coastline, dozens more provide impromptu picnic spots, a quiet place for reflection, or just a place to rest your feet.

One of the benches, dedicated to friends says, “What a wonderful place to grow up.” We believe this best sums up this story.

Iiarrived in Pacific Grove almost two years ago for the purpose of gradu-

ate studies. However, the quiet and beautiful nature of this town made me consider the area as a station in my life.Moving from a mega city to an ultra tiny one; from a noisy city to a no-body-walks-on the street-after-seven city; from the life of a reporter, inhal-ing tear gas, dodging BB gun shots in a place where the death toll is prob-ably the only index on the rise, to a city where the biggest struggle may be saving trees from being cut down. This change of atmosphere could inspire me to put journalism on hold and visit other forms of creative writing.Besides the tranquility of nature, my family has enjoyed an uplifting com-munity. Here we come together as neighbors to celebrate life events. Any-thing from moving, enrolling in col-lege, or a visit from a parent could be the reason for a neighborhood party. A couple of days ago a neighbor passed by with a basket of persimmons a reg-ular pattern in our complex.

While Egypt does have a reputation for hospitality, I have never seen the same kind of day-to-day, deep level interactions with neighbors as I have experienced here in Pacific Grove. With some exceptions, our family life was always aloof from its surrounding environment, engulfed in a huge city.This serene and friendly American hometown has become to me a ha-ven which could help me to fulfill my dreams, both in revisiting other forms of writing, and enjoying some peace-ful family time.

Iiarrived in Pacific Grove almost two years ago for the purpose of gradu-

ate studies. However, the quiet and beautiful nature of this town made me consider the area as a station in my life.Moving from a mega city to an ultra tiny one; from a noisy city to a no-body-walks-on the street-after-seven city; from the life of a reporter, inhal-ing tear gas, dodging BB gun shots in a place where the death toll is prob-ably the only index on the rise, to a city where the biggest struggle may be saving trees from being cut down. This change of atmosphere could inspire me to put journalism on hold and visit other forms of creative writing.Besides the tranquility of nature, my family has enjoyed an uplifting com-munity. Here we come together as neighbors to celebrate life events. Any-thing from moving, enrolling in col-lege, or a visit from a parent could be the reason for a neighborhood party. A couple of days ago a neighbor passed by with a basket of persimmons a reg-ular pattern in our complex.

While Egypt does have a reputation for hospitality, I have never seen the same kind of day-to-day, deep level interactions with neighbors as I have experienced here in Pacific Grove. With some exceptions, our family life was always aloof from its surrounding environment, engulfed in a huge city.This serene and friendly American hometown has become to me a ha-ven which could help me to fulfill my dreams, both in revisiting other forms of writing, and enjoying some peace-ful family time.

PACIFIC GROVE

When you are in a place so beauti-ful it can take your breath away,

its good to have a place to sit. The City of Pacific Grove offers nearly 250 public benches to sit and soak in the view. The majority of these benches hold the names of loved ones and sentiments of friends and family. Over the past few decades the waiting list for memorial benches has grown and the City has been out in the field identifying new locations for future benches.

Soon, we may hold the world’s record for public benches with a great view!

There are 25 memorial benches in Cale-donia Park alone. Along the coastline, dozens more provide impromptu picnic spots, a quiet place for reflection, or just a place to rest your feet.

One of the benches, dedicated to friends says, “What a wonderful place to grow up.” We believe this best sums up this story.

Recreating Nature With Paint

Artist Albert Thomas DeRome’s ties to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History by Steve Hauk

Steve Hauk, co-owner with his wife Nancy of Hauk Fine Arts in Pacific Grove, is a documentary film writer and playwright.

Artist Albert Thomas DeRome had a distinguished career which in-

spired other painters and the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.Annie Holdren, museum curator of ex-hibitions, says there is a strong DeRome connection to its current exhibition of contemporary landscapes because De Rome ``documented the region’s land-scapes with an eye toward recreating authentic habitats for (the museum’s) exhibit case backgrounds,’’ or dioramas.The juried exhibition, ``Central Coast Landscapes: Celebrating Nature in Painting,’’ runs through April 5th at the museum.DeRome, who was born in 1885, suf-fered injuries serious enough to destroy any career. In 1904 he was ``electrocut-ed’’ and severely crippled during an art college initiation hazing that made San Francisco news for its brutality. In 1931 he was involved in a head-on auto col-lision on Highway 101, suffering partial paralysis.

He would never drive again.DeRome and his wife Martha eventu-ally settled in Pacific Grove and the art-ist, though in great pain, began painting again. He began with small pieces. As he grew stronger, DeRome created big-ger paintings. For the museum he did three dioramas, one of which Holdren describes as his largest known land-scape.The late Walter A. Nelson-Rees, an im-portant geneticist and art scholar, wrote a book on the artist, ``Albert Thomas DeRome, 1885-1959.’’ The book, with its many DeRome landscapes, is highly sought by art collectors.`DeRome’s paintings capture land-scapes at the place and time he paint-ed,’’ says Holdren. ``They are an invalu-able record.’’DeRome, despite his disabilities, be-came a highly regarded California Im-pressionist for his work capturing Pa-cific Grove and the Monterey Bay area.
