Andreas Roth (German, 1871 - 1949): Mirror Lake, Yosemite Valley, 1933. Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, titled on verso, framed.

Andreas Roth's life in Germany was challenged by deprivations following WW I and the events leading toward World War II. At age 60, Andreas Roth set on a daring move to leave his home and head for the U.S. In Germany, he honed his artistic talents and trained as a successful landscape artist. He painted still life and landscapes, but especially enjoyed creating Alpine scenes in Austria. Once making base in the Los Angeles, he worked to reestablish his painting career, traveling and painting the diverse scenery of California, its vast deserts, towering mountains, and dynamic sea coasts.
