DescriptionTom E. Lewis studied architecture at USC and began painting in the 1920s. From 1920 to 1935 he maintained a studio in Laguna Beach, and was active as an exhibitor and arts organizer, helping form the Progressive Painters of Southern California. Although in 1935 he moved permanently to San Francisco, Lewis continued to exhibit frequently in Southern California. Here he presents a dramatic darkening sky above the well-known Coronado Hotel in San Diego. Better take in those sails, folks. On View
