Granville Redmond was
stricken with scarlett fever at the age of three, from which he lost his
hearing. Redmond attended the Berkeley School for the Deaf from 1879-1890,
where he was encouraged in his artistic interests. Following graduation,
Redmond attended the San Francisco School of Design where he was
awarded a scholarship for further study in Paris. Following his return
to the U.S., Redmond lived in Los Angeles and the Bay Area until work in
Hollywood prompted him to settle permanently in Los Angeles. Redmond
used his sign language skills in bit parts in silent movies which
led to a friendship with actor Charlie Chaplin. In fact, he had a studio
on the Chaplin lot and appeared in a number of his films. Today
Redmond is nationally known for his Impressionist landscapes featuring
the California wildflowers, as well as coastals and tonal,
moonlit scenes.
