although he got his start as an illustrator, in the style of N.C. Wyeth and Leyendecker, he was mainly known as a teacher and administrator at the prestigious Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in the 20's, 30's and 40's; Edwin Roscoe Shrader, who passed away in 1960, went on to paint in a bold post-Impressionistic style, his canvases usually ending up in the hands of friends and family; up until recently, he's been very much under the radar; but now, thanks in large part to LA art dealer George Stern, his works are on display at the Laguna Art Musuem, in Laguna Beach; it's the first major exhibition of Shrader's work; and it's a barn burner; if you love this style of art, you owe it to yourself to view it, before the show closes on January 23rd.
