Description: ROI PARTRIDGE Signed 1961 Original Photograph - LISTED This is a superb original signed photograph by well-listed artist and printmaker George Roy "Roi" PARTRIDGE, N.A. (American, 1888-1984), 1935, printed in 1961. At age four Roi (George Roy) Partridge moved with his family to Seattle where his father worked as a typesetter and later owned the local newspaper. In 1909 the budding artist traveled to NYC for one year of art study at the NAD and then studied etching in Munich under Brockhoff. His next three years were spent in Paris where he worked as a printmaker. When the German troops were approaching the French capital in 1914, he returned to Seattle. When 44 of his etchings were shown at the PPIE in 1915, he decided to make California his home. After moving to San Francisco in 1917, he began teaching at Mills College in Oakland in 1920 and became the first director of the schools art gallery. His marriage to photographer Imogen Cunningham in 1915 ended in divorce in 1934; his second wife, artist Marion Lyman, died of cancer in 1940; his third wife was May Fisher. Partridge took a leave of absence from Mills College in 1946, continued etching until 1952, and retired in 1954. His last years were spent in Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, CA where he died on Jan. 25, 1984. Some of his early works were signed with a drawing of a partridge.
