In 1890, the Santa Fe
Railroad added a passenger line to Redondo and built a magnificent 225-room
Redondo Hotel, whose sister is the Hotel Del Coronado.
Twenty two miles southwest of Los Angeles California this handsome hotel was
erected on a high terrace with a magnificent view of the sea. The daily run of
the Santa Fe Railroad brought many tourists from the east to enjoy California's
sunny weather. The view of the "Redondo Beach Hotel" was taken from the long wharf
where steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company docked.
HERB FILLMORE 1/22/24 - 10/27/99, The paintings and graphics of HERB FILLMORE represented the "Sophisticated Naif" style. The artist, who spent painstaking hours in researching the historical subjects of his interest, commands the attention of collectors all over the world. With the patience and attention to detail of an illustrator, HERB FILLMORE transposed the culmination of data onto the art board. His appealing work bring back to life scenes of Americana that have all but been forgotten in this age of computers.
"Angels Flight" ascending up the middle of a hill, colorfully clad people scurrying down Main Street, bicyclists, ice cream vendors, and children from the turn of the century come to life in a myriad of calculated strokes transferring the thoughts of the artist into a magical reality.
We are lucky that in an ever abstracting world there was an artist like HERB FILLMORE to remind us that it was different way back when. His paintings can be found in many esteemed collections all over the world and he has exhibited in numerous galleries.
Each original painting took the artist thousand of hours of research and execution.
