Milford Zornes
Fine Arts - 1927
Milford Zornes ('27) was one of the West Coast's preeminent watercolor artists and
teachers. Known as a leader of the California Style watercolor movement, Zornes applied
transparent washes of color to large sheets of paper, allowing the white to show through
to define shapes. ...
For more than thirty years, Zornes taught watercolor workshops in China, Alaska, Mexico,
Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Hawaii. He also painted murals for several U.S. post offices,
including the Claremont (CA) branch. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery
of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Library of Congress Collection own
his works. Zornes died at 100 years old in 2008.
