Studied: Otis Art Institue (Los Angeles, Pomona college (California). Member: National Academy of Design, American Watercolor Society, California Water Color Society. Milford Zornes grew up in Oklahoma, Idaho and California.  He loved to travel, so at twenty years of age, he hitch-hiked across America, worked on the New York docks, and then shipped out for Europe.  By 1930, he was back in Los Angeles studying art with F. Tolles Chamberlin at the Otis Art Institute.  He became very interested in watercolor painting and took additional study in this medium from Millard Sheets at Scripps College. By 1933, he was exhibiting his watercolors and receiving awards. As a result of his art production for the P.W.A.P. art Project, he was given a one-man show at the Corocan Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.  One of his watercolors was selected by President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to hang in the White House and an enormous amount of publicity followed. Within a very short amount of time, Zornes went from being a California watercolor student to being a nationally recognized artist. Place a Bid!
