The artistic innovations of Milford Zornes were key to the emergence of the California Style Watercolor Movement, a new style of plein-air painting, which began in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Milford always had a romantic infatuation with the California landscape, but he continued
to travel widely, sketching, painting, and teaching throughout the world. Over the years, Milford developed his innovative style into a masterful dynamic of bold abstraction that is unique and breathtaking in its sublime beauty.

The Art of Milford Zornes: Friendships and Inspiration is produced in conjunction with an exhibition at the CCAA Museum of Art in Rancho Cucamonga, California. This showing features 17 paintings by friends and affiliated artists, together with 46 paintings by Milford
Zornes, select artwork from private collections, some of which have never been on public exhibition.
