This 1990 century watercolor on paper entitled Alto Rhapsody of Brahms, is by artist, poet and writer, Sam Hugh Harris who painted in the great traditions of Modern Art including Impressionism and Symbolism.

At a young age, Sam started his vocation under the tutelage of his father Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977) who distinguished himself as an early California plein air landscape painter. Sam graduated from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Carmel Art Institute, studying figurative and still life painting. He was the pupil of John Cunningham and Alexander Archipenko and befriended John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath). He was also part of a group of Monterey artists called "The New Group".
