Ray DeBerge Jr. - Desert Landscape
Signed Lower Right
Oil On Canvas
About the Artist:
Courtesy of Gary Fillmore
In late 1944, de Berge uprooted the family to study painting in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts under muralist Louis Frederick Grell (1887-1960). He painted in Illinois for half a dozen years and then returned to Arizona where he designed and built a huge studio/home in the then remote desert environment of the Papago Mountains where he lived until his death.
Ray de Berge lived most of his later life as a recluse. He died in 1995 at the age of 92 from complications of a broken hip, allegedly incurred whilst in pursuit of a lady friend. Ray de Berge left behind five children, two wives, several books of poetry and four novels.
