Who We Are

California Art Auction is a service of John Moran Auctioneers, the leading auction house specializing in California art.

Osthaus, Edmund Henry

Edmund Osthaus studied at the Dusseldorf Academy until 1882, having been born in Hildesheim, Germany. He moved to the United States from Germany in 1883 to teach and become Director of the Toledo Academy of Fine Arts. After leaving teaching, he followed dog shows and sporting events and became one of the most noted painters of dog portraits including field trial champion pointers and setters.

In 1911, he established a studio in Los Angeles and remained based there for the remainder of his life, although he also maintained homes in Ohio, New Jersey, and a hunting lodge in Marianna, Florida where he died on January 30, 1928.
