DescriptionRex Brandt (1914-2000) had a highly successful painting career that stretched from the 1930s until well into the 1990s. In the ‘60s, he began to travel all over San Diego County, driving until he saw a scene that inspired him, and then setting up his easel and painting on location. These works became a book: "Rex Brandt’s San Diego: Land of the Sundown Sea" (1969). Here he depicts the undulating hills near San Onofre, with the Quonset huts and signage in the foreground setting us firmly on military ground: Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. On View
