He was a long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area and a prolific Plein Air artist. Sammons is known best for his California representational landscapes and coastal scenes. While much of his work was done in California, he traveled and painted throughout the West. In his early career, Sammons painted Tonalist pastels and some sources list him as a Pastelist. However, around 1920 Sammons added vivid color and Impressionistic brush strokes to his repertoire. At the same time he began painting oils and these comprise the majority of his work. The renowned early California Impressionist John M. Gamble praised Sammons' work on several occasions and was reported to have said that Sammons was the best painter of flowers in the west. More recently, Alfred C. Harrison, Jr. of The North Point Gallery, San Francisco said that Sammons was the best pastel landscape painter America has produced. Born in Kearney, Nebraska on May 9, 1883, Carl Sammons began his art studies in Sioux City, Iowa, while working as a sign painter. He moved to northern California in 1913. Settling in Oakland, he traveled extensively throughout California while studying at the CSFA.By the mid-1920s he had abandoned somber pastels in favor of plein air oils. He made painting trips to the Monterey Peninsula, Russian River, Palm Springs, Humboldt County, and Santa Barbara. Sammons died in Oakland on Feb. 4, 1968.Today his representational landscapes and coastal scenes are highly sought after by collectors.ExhibitionsCalif.
