Jack Bevier
Entitled Westwood, CA, this 1969 watercolor on paper scene is by distinguished watercolor painter and ceramacist Jack Bernard Bevier (1923-1996). Bevier was best known for his evocative landscapes, seascapes of the Monterey Peninsula, and boat and harbor scenes. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Bevier served in the Army Air Corps during World War II before pursuing his passion for art at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he graduated with honors.
After several years working in Chicago as a painter and commercial artist, Bevier moved to California in 1956, settling in the Salinas area on the Monterey Peninsula. There, he became a prominent figure in the local art community, operating a gallery in Carmel for many years. In addition to his watercolor work, Bevier was also an accomplished ceramic artist, often harvesting his own clay from the Monterey Peninsula to use in his studio kiln. His work remains a testament to his deep connection to the natural beauty of the California coast.
